Ready, Steady, Smoothie!

The Reception children took part in their own healthy eating and smoothie masterclass this afternoon. The children started off with some activities to raise their heart beat including jumping jacks, running and some stretches. They then discussed how we need a balance diet and learnt that to keep healthy they need to eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day.

They were interested to find out that a portion size varies depending on the size of the person. The portion should fill the palm of your hand. We tested this out and found that for Darci this was 6 grapes, but for Darren the chef this was 10 grapes, as he was a lot bigger!

Next up.... smoothie making! Max, Francesca and Larissa stepped up as their class smoothie makers and everyone counted down as the ingredients were added and the blenders turned on. It was quite noisy! Then we got to taste our banana smoothies, they were delicious! We were now refilled and ready for the rest of the afternoon.

"Wow it's super noisy." Max 

"I can feel my heart beating fast." Ryan 

"It was yummy." Victoria
