Design Technology

  28th October

The children have been researching and evaluating exisiting food products to enable us to design and make a healthy and seasonal two course meal.  They have looked at where food comes from and tried to understand seasonality, and know where and how a variety of ingredients are grown, reared, caught and processed

A healthy diet or balanced diet is a diet (what you eat) that contains the right amounts of all the food groups. It includes fruit, vegetables, grains, dairy products, and protein. It does not include too much or too little of any kind of food. Eating a wrong amounts of a food group, whether it be too much or too little, is called an "unhealthy diet" or an "imbalanced diet". A healthy diet is one that includes more foods that come from plants and fewer

This week, the children are very excited. Within their groups, they will produce 2 recipes, a vegetable soup and a fruit crumble.

The children had plenty of information on what ingredients that they would like. They have tasted a variety of vegetables and fruit crumble which has helped them enormously. 

The children had great fun cooking and tasting their food and then got a chance to make their own.
