In DT this week, the children were given the brief 'design, make and evaluate a fruit kebab for your friends as a healthy snack at your party'. We started the week by identifying different common and exotic fruits, before describing their colour, smell, shape and texture. Using the kindly donated fruit, the children developed their peeling, scooping and chopping skills before partaking in a taste test. The watermelon went down a treat, unlike the avocado, which resulted in the majority of children exclaiming yuck! 

The children were then asked to design their fruit kebab and identify the equipment they needed to successfully make their kebab. The following day involved the children making their own fruit kebab. The children skilfully used their knives before sliding the fruit onto their wooden skewer. The children thoroughly enjoyed eating their products before they completed their evaluation.

A great success KS1!
