Creating healthy mixtures in Year2 !

17 Mar Creating healthy mixtures in Year2 !

This half term in Year 2 children have been thinking about how to stay healthy. We have thought about which foods are healthy and which foods we  only eat occasionally. Every child in Year 2 then designed their  very own unique healthy drink. They used their learning in Science and Relationship & Health Education (RHE) to identify healthy foods to include in their drink. They then used their Design Technology skills to plan their drinks. They selected the ingredients and equipment they needed. In small groups, with an adult, the children learned new skills such as safely using a peeler and knife to cut their fruit. They then used a blender to combine their ingredients, creating a delicious drink. They used DeBono’s Thinking Hats to evaluate their creations. What great mixtures we made!
