The children in Year 1 had a delightful time in their recent cooking activity, where they created their own smoothies. Each child selected their fruits from a recipe and added them to their bowl before heading to the preparation station. Using an electric blender, they turned their prepared ingredients into delicious smoothies.

After tasting their creations, the children evaluated their smoothies by answering the following questions:

• Does your smoothie look the way you expected it to?
• Does your smoothie taste as you expected?
• Can you taste or smell any of the individual ingredients?
• Would you make it again?
• Would you change any ingredients?

This hands-on activity not only allowed the children to practice their culinary skills but also encouraged them to think critically about their creations. Well done, Year 1, for your fantastic efforts and delicious smoothies!
