We have been learning a lot about nutrition and how we can have a healthy balanced diet in Science Lessons. The children have been investigating the foods they eat and learning about the nutritional value of foods. We have linked our learning in Science to our DT experience this term where we have explored seasonal foods and nutrition when cooking.
All children in Year 3 have created their own seasonal tart recipe, used food as an inspiration to create healthy food plates and a creative food collage. But more excitingly, all children in Year 3 have shown responsibility during their cooking lessons by developing their peeling and cutting skills in order to create their own seasonal tart. The children tasted a range of seasonal foods, prepared their selected ingredients and used these to make their own delicious seasonal tart, which they got to bring home and share with their family.
We have had some delicious times in Year 3 and some children have expressed a keen interest in learning more about cooking and preparing meals with their family at home.
