Wow what a busy day in year 1.

As part of our design and technology topic, we have been looking at fruits and vegetables  and how we can use a blender to make these into healthy smoothies.

We have learnt  that fruits have seeds and that vegetables have roots, leaves and stems. We sorted fruits  and vegetables and learnt  about where they grow, on trees or vines, above the ground or below the ground.

We extended our learning further to explore how fruit and vegetables can be made into smoothies as a way to help us ensure we get our 5 a day.

We carried out taste testing on a range of smoothies and tried to guess the ingredients before designing and making our own.

And…… best of all, we got to drink the smoothies at the end of the day.
