Fabulous fruit salad

Learning

The aim of this session is for children:

• name different types of fruit;
• explain that eating fruit can help to keep us healthy;
• perform simple food skills safely with a focus on peeling by hand, cutting with a knife and mixing ingredients.

You will need:

• Fabulous fruit salad recipe and ingredients and equipment listed on the recipe
• Setting up a cooking session guide
• Get ready to cook cards
• Tasting guide
• Fruit cards – cut out and laminated
• Fabulous fruit salad take home letter
• 4-6 different fruit for tasting. If possible, try to offer a range of fruit the children are less familiar with and include samples that are both grown in the UK and in hotter climates. Take a look at the Fruit cards for ideas. Have two of each fruit available so you can cut one into samples for tasting and the second can be shown as a whole fruit.
