Preparing a healthy meal: Fruit Salad

Our topic lesson today focused on preparing a healthy meal through cutting skills. We wee challenged to cut fruit for a fruit salad by using a bridge and with fingers facing away from the knife. When we could, we used the flat surfaces to steady the fruit.

We worked in pairs or small groups to create a healthy meal.

Aiden, Leigha and Owen kept their area very tidy throughout the session

The smell interested Mr McIntosh, who tasted group's fruit salads

This was the first time some pupils had tasted pomegrante, mango and passion fruit. The class LOVED pomegrante but that could be because it is so messy! To start the lesson we explored where the fruits we eat come from. Most of them come from places close to the equator. We placed fruit on the map where we thought they would come from and as a class we were very close!
