Class LH have enjoyed a whole day of sandwich making …. yes… a whole day to make one sandwich but we have learnt lots of new skills and found about healthy eating along the way, discovering about balanced diets, different food groups and making good choices about how to eat healthily.
We started off by trying different types of breads (pitta, wholemeal, white, bagel, sourdough and brioche) to find out which bread we wanted to make our own sandwich from. After that, we sliced cucumbers, radishes and tomatoes, we peeled and grated some carrots and chopped lettuce. We also tried sweetcorn which created a lovely rainbow plate. From these salad ingredients, we then chose our own salad to go in our sandwich. Finally, we peeled and chopped eggs, sliced some ham and then also taste-tested tuna, cheese and houmous.
Once we had
chosen the ingredients for the sandwich, we actually made our own sandwiches
after lunch and sampled them.
It was good to learn new skills such as the arch and claw method to hold the food safely which we were cutting; knowing how to use knives safely; understanding how different foods are good for making healthy choices for sandwiches.
Well done to everyone in the class who sampled every food – some were a bit reluctant
but still gave it a go. There were some amazing sandwiches created combining different ingredients.
