We made fruit salad yesterday and we wrote recipes for younger children to follow.
We hope that more children will bring healthy lunches to school.
Here is the recipe for our Healthy Fruit Salad:
Fruit Salad
You will need:
A selection of fruit, eg Kiwi, Peach, Pineapple
A bowl
Sharp knife
Cutting board
Method: What to do:
Before cutting the fruit, pass the different fruits around and let the children feel and smell them. Ask the children if they know the names of the fruit. Talk about shape, size, smell and texture. Put the fruit into groups, eg smooth skinned or those that are round in shape. Ask the children to guess what colour the fruit is inside.
Peel and cut open the fruit, and talk about what they can see. Are there any seeds? If you cut the fruit in a different way, does it look different inside? Apples are great for this.
Make the fruit into a fruit salad and let the children taste the fruit.
Discuss which fruit the children prefer. We also made a bar chart to record our results. It is displayed on the wall, in the corridoor, outside our class. Please come and look at it.
Here are some of our photos.
