Class 2 have continued their Food and Nutrition work by making stuffed peppers. The children mixed bulgur wheat with raw vegetables and used this mixture to fill half peppers. Lemon juice and olive oil were added to the mix and the whole thing was topped with feta cheese.
Class 2 have enjoyed eating their stuffed peppers. This week's food was not as great a hit as last week's Noodle Salad, but the children have thought about what they would change for next time. Some would add less lemon, some more cheese, and some would replace certain vegetables. All the children tried their stuffed peppers and were able to describe their feelings towards their food.
Design and Technology
As part of our D&T unit on Food and Nutrition, Class 2 has been cooking delicious and nutritious food!
First up Noodle Salad, using rice noodles and assorted vegetables. The dressing was made using brown sugar, soy sauce and lime.
The children have greatly enjoyed making Noodle Salad, but they enjoyed eating it even more. Everyone had a try and the majority of the class gave it two thumbs up!
In history today, we looked at photos of some of the evidence of the middle Stone Age (the Mesolithic Era), to discuss what life was like in Mesolithic Britain.

We each chose a theme, then selected relevant images from magazines and attached them to a 3D form (a plant pot!)
