With a mix of creativity and nutrition, our year 1 and 2 children have been diving into the world of fruit smoothies as part of their design and technology lessons. Children had the chance to explore a range of fruits with a variety of textures and flavours. Children worked hard choosing their favourite fruit, from juicy strawberries and ripe bananas to tangy pineapples.

Using their teamwork skills, the children carefully peeled, chopped and juiced the ingredients, learning valuable skills in food preparation and hygiene. Once prepared, it was time to blend their prepared fruits. The whirl of the blender turned their colourful creations into delicious, healthy smoothies. Not only did children enjoy their tasty treats, they had the fantastic opportunity to explore flavours and express creativity, and learn about the importance of healthy eating.
