This half term Year 1’s DT topic has been ‘Super Salads’. The children explored some well known salads, tasted lots of fresh fruit and vegetables that are used in various salads, learnt about different food groups and the roles they play in a balanced diet, learnt how to safely use a knife to chop ingredients, before applying all of this to designing and making their own salads. Afterwards they tasted and evaluated them. The children were amazing at trying lots of unfamiliar ingredients and surprised themselves and their teachers, by discovering that they liked olives! Well done Year 1 on some creative salads and on being so adventurous in trying new foods. Thank you to Mrs Breakwell and Mrs Handley for supporting the children in their learning.
