Developing independent living skills at Adult Education Wolverhampton

Students have been busy in the life skills room this week. As a Christmas treat, they were busy making themselves a cooked breakfast. They learnt how to make scrambled eggs and cooked baked beans in the microwave, they made toast and hot drinks. After they had eaten, they washed up and cleaned the room.

Despite this being a treat, it's important that our students are prepared for life outside the classroom and being able to make a simple meal and clear up after themselves is an essential skill for independent living. Embedded into this are discussions around hygiene, using kitchen equipment safely and about healthy eating.
