# Maple Tree - European Food Technology

  ![Image of Maple Tree - European Food Technology](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/blog/Maple_3.jpg)  26 September 2025   [s.clarke@torview.svt.org.uk](https://www.torview.org/blog/author/sclarke)   [Primary Department Blog](https://www.torview.org/blog/category/primary-department-blog)

**In Maple Class this half term, our topic has been ‘Europe’.**

As part of our Food Technology sessions, Maple Tree had a fantastic time making apple crumble, a traditional British dessert. This linked perfectly with our learning about different countries in Europe and their cultures, with a special focus on the UK.

We followed a simple recipe step-by-step, measuring out ingredients, peeling and chopping apples, and rubbing together flour and butter to make the crumble topping. Learners developed a range of practical life skills during the session, including fine motor control, following instructions, and working as part of a team.

Everyone really enjoyed the sensory experience of preparing and tasting the apple crumble — especially the delicious smell after it had cooked!

It was a lovely hands-on way to bring our topic to life and celebrate some of the flavours of Europe and we look forward to continuing exploring different European foods.
