Today, Herons made an exotic fruit salad using the wide variety of fruit they brought in to school. We set up different stations for them to work at and practise key skills including: weighing and measuring, chopping (bridge and claw), grating/zesting and juicing, peeling and scooping and pouring and mixing. The children worked really sensibly to create a class fruit salad. We used mango, banana, kiwi, melon, pineapple, orange and pomegranate. All the children had an opportunity to try the fruit salad and many tried a new fruit for the first time. Some children even came back for seconds (or thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths, eights…!!!) Our afternoon continued to be exciting as we managed to cut open a coconut and have a taste of it!
