Super Smoothies!

The children in Reception were busy making their own super smoothies last week to kick off our 'Superhero - fact or fiction?' topic. We have spent the week focusing on how to keep our bodies healthy and discussed a range of ways including healthy eating, exercise, sleep and washing our hands. The children worked in small groups to make their smoothie, choosing the ingredients they would like to put in.

Before the children used the knives and the blender we talked about how to mange the risks and use them safely. "We need to keep our fingers out of the way" said Iyinope to his group. The children tasted their smoothies and there was lots of empty cups. "It's a little bit delicious" exclaimed Lukas as he drank up his smoothie.

Later in the week the children wrote recipes for smoothies, there was a wide range of ingredients included from cashew nuts to raspberries to chips! Some sounded better than others but it was a great opportunity for the children to use the experience to inspire their writing.
