What would you eat if you were marooned on an island?
We discussed the possibilities of going
fishing, hunting for mammals and birds and then we thought about the vegetation
and plants and what we might find that we could eat. We discussed how, if pirates didn’t eat a lot
of fresh fruit and vegetables, they often suffered from scurvy. We all decided it would be better to eat
fruit!! We also talked about how we would catch the animals using natural materials such as sharpened sticks, bones from
dead animals, beaks to act as a scoop and sharp flints to cut up the animals
and fish with.
We then, as part of our DT made fruit kebabs. Firstly, we cut up the fruit using the arch
and bridge method. We had to saw really
hard for the pineapple. After that, we then used a tasting sheet to try the
fruit and decide which one we liked and did not like ready to make our own
kebabs. Even though James was not very
keen on kiwi and Diego and Delilah were not very keen on pineapple, they all
gave it a go and tried it.
Then we each made our own kebab using our favourite fruit. Finally
we decided how it tasted as a kebab and also thought about what we would do differently
next time and why.
We then finished off the lesson making a tally of Class LH's favourite fruit which we are going to use to make pictograms and bar charts.
