Ready, Steady, Prep!

Willow Class have been busy practising their food preparation skills in this week’s Design and Technology lesson. The children carefully used forks to steady their food, practised cutting soft items with table knives and had a go at juicing fruit. They followed instructions really well and are growing in growing confidence. They will use these skills later on in the term, when they make a healthy smoothie!
