Over the last few weeks through our topic of 'Growth and Green Fingers' Year 1and 2 children have enjoyed a great design and technology project. After a challenge set by our giant, Arthur, in one of his letters we investigated which fruits would go well together to make a fruit salad. 

The children have looked closely at different fruits, discussed where they were grown, tasted fruit, made choices, designed a fruit salad specification and learnt how to use different tools to prepare our fruit salads. 

Have a look through these galleries of photographs to see the progression in their learning and how they followed their own specifications to finally make and eat their fruit salad. We finished the project on Friday by writing letters to Arthur including instructions on how he can make his own fruit salad. I wonder if he will have been down the beanstalk over the weekend? I hope he has left us a letter in reply if he has!
