Making a Healthy Breakfast Pot

Making a Healthy Breakfast Pot

Our Design and Technology Project this term was to design and make a breakfast pot using healthy ingredients like yogurt, oats, fresh fruit and dried fruit. 

This started off with discussions on where our food comes from. Does it come from a plant source or animal?

No food project is complete with taste testing! 

Our eager tasters had samples of strawberry, dried apricot, mixed berries, banana, canned mandarin, canned peaches and different flavours of yogurt to choose from.

Finally the children were able to design their own breakfast based upon their taste test and make it themselves using the safe and correct way to chop up fruit. See the little chef's in action below.

Impact: The children were immersed Design and Technology, discussing food sources and where ingredients come from. It was also an opportunity for them to evaluate their own daily breakfast choices and consider other foods that they have tried. They were introduced to the terms 'fresh', 'frozen', 'canned' and 'dried'.  

Many pupils bravely tried the different foods for the first and talked about their preferences.  

We demonstrated how to handle food safely and the simple preparation of the ingredients meant that children were able to layer their breakfast pot ingredients independently. 

Afterwards, pupils tasted and evaluated their breakfast creations, thinking about how they could improve the taste and texture of their breakfast pots. 

What will your little chefs create in the kitchen this weekend?
