Year 1

During DT Week, Year 1 looked extensively at fruit smoothies. They began the unit by evaluating the packaging of existing smoothies. They then tasted two different flavours and evaluated those too. After that they were then lucky enough to taste the individual ingredients that went into the two different drinks, deciding what they liked and disliked. Using their preferences they then designed their own fruit smoothies, using up to three of their favourite fruits. Before their ingredients could be blended, they had to prepare it by peeling and cutting it. Finally once their smoothie was made, they were able to taste and evaluate it! In addition to this, Year 1 also looked at the history of the electric blender and the invention of the 'smoothie'.
