Year 1 - Science & Design Technology

In Year 1 in Science this term we are learning all about the human body. This includes being able to recognise and label different parts of the body. Our first lesson of the unit included us drawing around our friends and creating life size pictures of human body outlines. We then labelled the different parts of the body we could name, following singing a song teaching us the different parts.

In Design Technology we have been learning about Healthy Food and where our food comes from. Before half-term we learnt about how do we recognise if a food is a fruit or a vegetable. Then last week we designed and created smoothies that needed to include a vegetable and different fruits. We chose a recipe that had cucumber, strawberries, spinach and banana in. Some of us tasted the spinach beforehand and we weren't so sure, but still put it in the smoothie to see what it tasted like altogether. There were mixed opinions! Some of us loved the smoothie, others of us weren't too keen. We had lots of fun cutting all the fruit and vegetables up though and seeing the ingredients whizz around in the blender!
