Friday 7th February

We have had a fantastic week this week designing and making our own fruit salads. On Monday, we sorted foods into fruits and vegetables and then spent some time looking at a range of different fruits.  We talked about the colour, shape and smell of the fruits before having a little taste.  We used adjectives to describe them and thought about which were our favourites.

On Tuesday, we thought about who our fruit salad was for and agreed that it needed to be healthy.  We then designed our fruit salads and listed the ingredients and equipment needed in order to make our fruit salads.

On Wednesday, we talked about the importance of food hygiene and making sure that the area that we were working in was clean, our hands and equipment were clean and that we had washed the fruits before we used them.  We used the bridge and claw techniques to carefully cut and prepare our fruits before combining them with a little apple and lemon juice to make our delicious fruit salads.  Once we had washed and tidied everything up, we sat down together and ate them.  We had so much fun!
