Week 1 – Fruit Salad
After talking about our favourite fruit, we explored how a variety of fruits end up in our local shops using the videos ‘Farm to Fork’ . We were then shown the two different holds for chopping. These are the ‘claw’ and the ‘bridge’.
Before having the opportunity to use a knife to try these holds, we discussed health & safety rules to ensure we kept ourselves and each other safe.
We chopped and tasted pears, blueberries, melon, strawberries and avacado. Strawberries were voted our favourite!
Week 2- Fruit Smoothies
We have been continuing to refine our chopping skills, washing and preparing fruit before our teacher added these to the blender to make some delicious smoothies.
Our first smoothie had banana, mango, pineapple and apple juice. We named it ‘Sunshine’. It was delicious!
Our second smoothie included banana, strawberry, raspberries and apple juice. We named it ‘Rainbow’. We liked this one too!
Week 3 – Rainbow Salad
Now that we have tasted lots of fruit, we have now begun to explore vegetables. During this session we extended our skills by learning how to peel and grate a carrot safely . We made delicious salads which featured carrots, celery, tomatoes and three different colours of peppers (red, orange and green). We had the option to taste these and some of us even wanted to take ours home to share with our families. We were superstars!
