D&T Day in Owls Class - Making Smoothies 🍓🍌

Year 1 had an amazing day making their own fruit smoothies!

They started by learning how fruits grow and how flowers turn into tasty fruits. 🌱🍎

Next, the children became smoothie designers, choosing their favourite fruits, using a class word bank, writing ingredient lists and creating bright, colourful labels for their cups.

After learning about knife safety and chopping their fruit carefully, each child added their ingredients to a blender to make their very own smoothie. 🍌🍓🥤

The best part? Tasting time! The Owls enjoyed their smoothies outside, then came back to the classroom to evaluate their creations, thinking about taste, appearance and how well their labels matched. 😋👍

This day linked perfectly with our PSHE topic - Healthy Me, as the children thought about healthy choices, different fruits and how they can be part of a balanced diet. 🍏🥕

It was a day full of creativity, independence and fun, the children were so proud of their delicious smoothies!
