Year 5 DT/food Morning - 24.10.18

Hello all,

On Wednesday 24th October (next week) we will be getting stuck into the DT portion of our topic, amazing allotments. We will be making fruit and vegetable smoothies to drink in the morning, and slow-cooking a warming autumn soup for the children to taste in the afternoon!

Grown ups, we invite you to come along in the morning (9am - 12pm), and have fun washing, peeling, chopping and tasting! Firstly, we will make a soup to cook in a slow cooker, so that the children can taste it at the end of the day. Then, we will make vegetable and fruit smoothies, that you can taste with us. To finish off just before lunch time, we will take our vegetable and fruit waste product to the compost bins and discuss the plant life cycle that we will contribute to.

To get the children excited about our activities, could you please ensure that your child brings with them on Wednesday 24th October:

- x1 of their favourite vegetable for our delicious autumn  soup

- x1 portion of their favourite fruit for our healthy smoothies

If you are able to attend our DT morning, please let me know in person, or let your child know so that they can notify me.

Many thanks,

Looking forward to seeing you,

Miss Rodriguez

P.S apologies for not posting this sooner, but I have attached a photo collage of the wonderful trip we had to the allotments. Thank you so much to the grown ups who came to have fun at the allotments with us!
