Functional Skills

Date: 17th Sep 2025 @ 8:26pm

This week, the Compass Centre blog spotlight is on our Functional Skills session.

During this half term, we’ve been working towards creating our own cupcake recipes. Over the past week, pupils have been learning to identify and match key ingredients with their corresponding words. They’ve also used their numeracy skills to count ingredients, follow the steps in a recipe, and read scales to weigh out the correct amounts.

The highlight of the week was following the recipe step by step to bake their own cupcakes — and of course, tasting them was the best part!

Next, we’ll be using the photos taken during the session to sequence our recipe and decide what extra ingredients we’d like to add to our cupcakes.

Have a lovely week,

Sam, Beth, and the Compass Centre Team
