Fruit Kebabs

Today, Year 1 made fruit kebabs. The children had to chop, peel and arrange fruit into a tasty and pleasing presentation. The children reasearched a variety of different fruits before designing their kebab. They had to think about the look, feel and taste. They learnt how to use everyday tools safely and how to present their product. The children got to eat their kebabs and evaluate them with their peers. Great job everyone!
