In Design and Technology we have been learning the skills of cutting and peeling. First we practised on playdough, we carefully used a knife to chop playdough into smaller peices.
After this, we learnt how to use a knife safely when cutting real fruits. We made sure we tucked our fingers in when holding fruit and we moved our knife forwards and backwards slowly. We were very sensible!
Year 1 the taste tested a range of fruits and we picked our top 3 favourites. From this, we then designed our own fruit kebabs based on what fruits we enjoy the most.
Finally, we made our very own fruit kebabs by looking carefully at our designs.
Here are some pictures of our final products:
