Exploring The Plants We Eat 🍽😋 - What can we do with Vegetables? ( Part 1)

Phase 1 : Exploration (Week 3)

Activity: Making Fruit Juice

Focus: Plants We Can Eat

The children explored making fruit juice. Upon reading “The Vegetables We Eat” by Gail Gibbons, the children learnt that fruits are a category/type of vegetable. Instead of just eating raw vegetables, the children learnt how to use a blender independently to blend the fruits into a yummy juice!

The children used plastic cake knives to cut up the apples, peeled the oranges by themsleves, and pulled out the seeds of each fruit to prepare the ingredients. They then added equal parts of apples and oranges into the blender, used a ladle to add three big scoops of water,  into the blender, and a teaspoon of raw honey. They closed the lid and pressed the speed buttons on the blender to blend the ingredients into juice!
