Health Week in Year Two

We have been very busy this week designing, making and, of course, tasting healthy sandwiches as part of our DT work.

After learning about the importance of hygiene when preparing food, we began by taste testing a variety of breads and lettuce types. We weren't too keen on rocket and pulled some rather funny faces whilst eating it! Our teachers were very impressed with the way we all tried everything, even when we weren't too sure if we would like it.

We then selected our ingredients and designed our sandwiches, making sure they were healthy and could be part of a balanced diet. We practised our grating, spreading and chopping skills before we assembled our sandwiches.

Then it was time for the best bit - the eating! We all enjoyed our sandwiches and were able to evaluate our recipes, discussing what we liked and what we would change if we made them again.
