KS1 – Food Technology – Make – Fruit Platter – 15/09/2026

In our first practical Food Technology lesson, KS1 had lots of fun developing their food preparation skills!

Before we began, we discussed the importance of good food hygiene and how to prepare ourselves safely for cooking. We made sure our hands were washed, long hair was tied back and our aprons were on, ready to get started!

We then learnt how to safely use the bridge and claw cutting techniques to chop a variety of fruits.

Before preparing our fruit, we discussed the different fruits we were using, where in the world they grow and how they are grown.

Once all our fruit had been carefully chopped, it was time for everyone’s favourite part – the taste test!

The children enjoyed trying the different fruits and came up with some fantastic adjectives to describe their flavours, including sweet, juicy, tangy and sour!
