Learning new skills!

This week in DT Lions and Tigers have been working hard using different utensils. Our end product will be a fruit snack to share with the class but this week we have just been getting used to using all the different utensils! We all came up with ways to stay safe whilst using the utensils and we also discussed how to maintain food hygiene! Have a look at some of us in action below...

We used knives to chop and cut different fruit.

We used peelers to remove the skin from some fruit.

We were very careful not to cut out fingers!

We also used a grater to create a different effect.

Keep an eye on our blog to see our finished fruit snacks in a few weeks!

Seeds!

This week we have started our new topic 'Fighting Fit!' As part of it, in our topic lessons we have looked at our food and where it comes from. We sorted Miss Amis' shopping into hoops depending on whether it came from an animal or a plant and we also looked at our favourite meal and looked at where the ingredients for it came from. We also explored lots of different fruits, talked about what they looked, smelt and felt like and we researched where lots of different fruits come from. As part of this we had a go at planting our own tomato seeds and we cannot wait to watch them grow! Have a look at some of us planting our seeds...
