    Cooking

    Hands-on cooking sessions develop practical life skills, mathematical thinking, and language as children measure, mix, and create. Cooking also celebrates the multicultural spirit of Casa, introducing children to flavours from around the world.

Most clubs run at the same time each week during term time. Cooking happens at least once each week, on a day that varies by group.
