Everyone welcome! # Food technology- Serve a Salad- Year 5 ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_5650.JPG) 29 April 2022 Over the past few weeks, the children in Year 5 have been learning about different types of salads and ingredients used in salads around the world. They have been learning about healthy eating (with a focus on fibre) and practising using food preparation skills, including the bridge hold and claw grip, safely and hygienically. They have tasted food from other countries to help give them new experiences and flavour ideas which then led to them making a healthy salad for a friend. Prior to this, they created a questionnaire to research the requirements and preferences of their salad recipient. This afternoon, they made a salad for their friend and they were reminded to be as accurate as possible with their preparation. Thinking about the appearance, size and shape of the ingredients they are preparing. They then ate their salad with their friends and evaluated their design against the design criteria and feedback from others. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_5650.JPG) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Design Technology](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/english_edit_.JPG)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-04-28-year-2-english-editing-and-improving-our-work) Previous ### [Year 2 English: Editing and improving our work! ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-04-28-year-2-english-editing-and-improving-our-work) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/gallery/year-2-gallery-2021-22/1A78D7FC-5384-4AF9-9829-4AE7623C250D.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-05-02-year-2-follow-the-river-darwen) Next ### [Year 2 follow the River Darwen](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-05-02-year-2-follow-the-river-darwen) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
