Year 1: Toy Museum
Year 1 loved showing their adults all of their learning in our toy museum. They played with old and modern toys together and taught their parents lots of new facts.
Year 3 Food Technology: Peeling, Cutting and Grating
Today, we became young chefs as we mastered essential food technology skills like peeling, cutting, and grating to prepare for our seasonal tarts. At our busy preparation station, we practised the "claw" and "bridge" cutting techniques to safely slice sweet strawberries, crunchy carrots, and juicy pears. We also revisited our Year 2 skills by grating and snipping ingredients to create different textures. By focusing on our Year 3 progression, we learned how to handle a peeler effectively and decided which parts of our fruit and vegetables were best to eat. To ensure we didn't waste any food, we used our prepared ingredients to make our fruit tarts in the afternoon. ready for us to evaluate in our next lesson!

Year 3-Food Technology: Seasonal and Imported Foods- Fruit tart
Throughout this unit, we have explored the fascinating journey of how our food reaches our plates. We discovered that while "seasonal" eating means choosing fruits that grow nearby at certain times of year, it is often difficult to make a truly seasonal fruit tart because so much of our food is imported from all over the world. This is why we have such a huge variety of choices at the shops! To make our delicious fruit tarts, we used a range of ingredients, including shortcrust pastry, custard, and a rainbow of fruit such as melon, pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pears, and grapes. I was so pleased to see so many children being brave and trying every single type of fruit on their tarts. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying such a healthy, varied treat that they had prepared all by themselves!
