Year One - Making Smoothies in DT

Year 1 had an excellent time making fruit smoothies in DT. Together we began by discussing where fruits and vegetables grow: underground or aboveground. In groups, we selected the ingredients we would like to add to our smoothies from our recipe cards. Next, we learnt how to carefully cut fruit, as well as squeeze lemons and measure liquids. Then we added the fruits we had prepared and liquids we had measured to a blender and turned it into a smoothie. It was fun predicting which colour it would turn. Everyone enjoyed drinking the delicious smoothies! Finally, we discussed what our smoothies smelt and tasted like and said what we would do differently next time.
