Year One have been working hard in their Design Technology lessons sorting fruits and vegetables and taking part in tasting sessions. We have been discovering how they are prepared before they are consumed and trying our hands at making food.
One of our activities was to make 'Fruit Kebabs'. With fruit kindly donated by parents we set about making a delicious healthy snack. What fun we had! All of the children tried a new fruit they had never tasted before as we had an array of exotic fruits to choose from. After all the washing, peeling and assembling we all tucked in! It was finger licking good - quite literally!

How to make Fruit Kebabs
Fruit Kebabs are a tasty snack and can make a awesome table arrangement for a party table.
What you will need:
A selection of exotic fruits
Skewers
Large potatoes
Tin foil
Chopping boards
Knives
Plastic covers for the desks
Plates
1. First wash your hands, cover the tables and select your fruits.
Think for a while about whether the fruits will need washing or peeling.
2. Next put on your apron and start to prepare the fruits.
Peel off skins and chop into chunks.
3. Then start thread the fruits in a pattern onto a skewer.
Can you spot this boy's pattern?
What about this one?
4. When the skewer is full, push the end into the foil covered potato. This makes a lovely display. Try this for a party!
5. Repeat with more skewers and fruit chunks and pieces.
6. Finally wash hands that have become sticky and enjoy the fruits of your labour!
Why don't you have a go yourself!
