We have learned that to keep our Moshi Monsters happy we have to feed them every day and give them healthy food.

We are also learning that to keep ourselves healthy and happy we have to eat the right types and combinations of foods.

Today we had a special visitor. Mrs Fiona Dawson, an Education Catering Advisor from our local authority, came to give us a special workshop on preparing and making our own soup.

Jack and Kristin’s mums came in to help us too.

We had to wash our hands properly and put on special plastic aprons. We knew all about this as we have been learning about the importance of good hygiene when preparing food.

Mrs Dawson showed us how to use a very sharp knife safely to chop up our vegetables. We had to peel and chop carrots, potatoes, turnip and leeks. We all worked in our groups to do this and everyone had turns.

We added water and stock powder and then left the soup to cook. After lunchtime, we were able to taste our soup. It was yummy!

A big thank you to Mrs Dawson for a very enjoyable morning. Thank you too, to Jack and Kristin’s mums for coming in to help us.
