Reception- Making a fruit kebab
Date: 3rd Jul 2026 @ 12:18pm
The children took part in a healthy eating Design and Technology activity where they made their own fruit kebabs using strawberries, red grapes, green grapes, bananas, and clementines.
The children showed good focus and concentration as they carefully prepared the fruit and threaded it onto their skewers. They learned about healthy foods and discussed why fruit is good for our bodies, linking to the message of eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
The children practised using a knife safely to chop soft fruit, developing their understanding of knife safety and how to handle tools carefully. They also strengthened their fine motor skills by picking up fruit pieces and pushing them onto the skewer.
After making their fruit kebabs, the children thoroughly enjoyed eating them. They used descriptive language to talk about the taste and texture of the fruit, saying it was juicy, fruity, and sweet. The children were proud of their finished kebabs and enjoyed trying a variety of fruits.
