A smooth and healthy meal!

This morning, the Year 3 children in 3F and 3S pulled together and put their culinary expertise to the test.  The children have been learning all about human and animal diets in Science and following on from this, they first researched on the Chromebooks, then designed a healthy meal, writing out an explicit instructional recipe text for a healthy ‘Apple and Raspberry Smoothie’.

The children were divided into groups of 5 and were given responsibilities which included: cutting apples, measuring milk and yogurts quantities, weighing raspberries on scales and even squeezing some lemons.  The children really enjoyed the preparation and making experience but annoying not many enjoyed the smoothie. “It’s too bitter” they said.  “Well that’s what real food tastes like minus the preservatives and sweeteners,” moaned Mr Farry as a retort : )

Still, some good life experiences and practical knowledge gained as well as fitting in some D&T into the curriculum!

Hi, my name is Mr Farry, I still consider myself very much part of a great team in a great school, we really do ALL pull together to ensure the children complete a fantastic and enjoyable curriculum. I am still the P.E coordinator (a veteran now that I’ve joined the over 40s club), and still completely passionate about sport and my role in sport at Park. I am still actively involved external sports (both team and individual) and consider this essentially to maintaining a healthy body and mind. The children will tell you I’m still the jovial and humorous person I was when I joined the school, buy I’m simply four/five years older and ‘hopefully’ a little wiser, albeit with a few stray greys! My classroom is a busy place, with high expectations whilst still maintaining a nurturing environment, especially with the kind and generous Mrs Lucas by my side. The children, thus, continue to feel comfortable and content in their learning environment.
