Primary 2 have been busy preparing all kinds of healthy food over the last 2 days, so much so that we managed to make a 3 course meal. We started with potato and leek soup, then healthy pita pizzas and to finish we had some smoothies. It was important we followed good hygiene rules. First we washed our hands and we used antibacterial gel to make sure our hands were clean. Then we took off jewellery, tied our hair back and wore aprons. We developed our cooking skills by keeping safe when we used the children’s cooking knifes. We worked in small groups with the teacher and used the bridge technique to cut all of our fruit and vegetables. This means we have to glue our fingers together and put the knife through our bridge so that we don’t cut our fingers. Look at how neatly we cut our food. We had to put the fruit in the freezer over night so our smoothies were nice and cold. In the afternoon the soup was cooked by an adult during our lunch time and then we got to taste it while we were making our healthy pita pizzas shapes/faces. Lots of us have tried some new foods like basil, oregano and spinach to name a few. We had a mango, pineapple and banana smoothie, a strawberry smoothie and a mango, pineapple, banana and spinach smoothie. Miss Langridge was surprised that the most popular smoothie was the green spinach smoothie, looks like P2 have all turned into popeye this week! They have definitely grown taller with all their healthy eating and are ready to be big P3’s! Smoothie recipes will be added along with smoothie pictures on Monday if you wish to make any of them at home with an adult!
