FRUIT KEBABS

Lesson: Design and technology

Class: Y1 Year: 2019 - 2020

This half term, Y1 have been developing their food technology skills in DT by designing and making fruit kebabs.

We have been:

*learning about the different food groups

*finding out how much of each food group we should eat using the Eat Well Plate

*learning about seasonailty - which fruits can we get at which times of year and where do they come from? 

*using our senses to describe the appearance, taste and texture of different fruits

*developing our data handling skills by creating a tally chart and bar graph to show which was the most and least popular fruits from our taste testing

*learning how to cut foods in different ways: the fork secure, the claw grip and the bridge hold - choosing the most appropriate one for the type of fruit being cut

*designing our own fruit kebab - thinking about fruits that we like and that would look nice when presented together

*combining our skills by making our kebab - and filming it (using clear instructions, like a cookery video) for half term's computing unit of work 

*writing an evaluation about our finished product - saying what we liked and what we would change next time

Mrs. Roberts was very impressed with how we used our knife and fork to show the different ways of cutting we had been taught. 

We had lots of fun and loved eating our fruit kebabs at the end!
