Class 2 have been learning about the foods we produce in Britain. We have studied farming calendars to identify which foods are in season and when. We have also been exploring the journeys certain foods make to come to our supermarkets out of season from abroad. We have been considering the ways in which food is preserved to extend its life.
To apply this learning, we have made fruit tarts using preserved and fresh strawberries that are out of season in Britain at this time of year. As it is May, our fruit has travelled from Spain, which is approximately 2,300Km away. We are able to identify the impact that this can have on the environment in Food Miles.
We applied our Language reading skills to follow an instructional recipe. We also used our food hygiene practices to work cleanly and safely. Throughout this task the class we employed our soft skills of cooperation, teamwork, sharing and negotiating to complete our task. We all agreed our tarts tasted delicious!
