Design and Technology this term is about making familiar foods in a healthy way. We are considering the ingredients that go into our food so we can make good choices for our health (balanced diets), and for taste.
Yesterday, we discussed ‘seasonal’ foods. Which fruits and vegetables are in season and how we can ‘preserve’ some of those foods to last longer so we don’t have to buy processed foods, or import foods from a long way away. We used frozen berries, heating them up so they will ‘stew’ and making them a nice topping for our yoghurt, seed and oat snack/breakfast. The children practised their cutting skills, as well as making choices for their yoghurt.
Some LOVED the taste – others were less enthusiastic. One guarantee is that there was lots of fun in the process.
