Peeling Fresh!

Date: 20th Apr 2026 @ 3:56pm

As part of our D.T. unit we were looking at fresh fruits and vegetables. We explored the difference between a fruit and a vegetable and got to try some new fruits and some old favourites too! Some of our fruits were sweet and juicy; some crunchy and tart and some were sharp and bitter. We found out that fruits and vegetables are good for us because they contain vitamins which allow us to grow big and strong and be alert and ready to learn.

We then had the chance to sharpen our practical skills and used peelers and knives to safely prepare some fruits. Everyone was given the chance to choose which fruits they wanted to include in their final product of a Fruit Salad. They had to make sure their user would like it! That was easier once they knew they would be eating it themselves. 

The children were all very sensible and really enjoyed eating their fruits salads to be part of their 5 a day.
