3S - DT: peeling, grating and chopping

Lesson: Design and technology

Class: 3S - Mrs Simmons Year: 2023 - 2024

Today's DT lesson gave the children to showcase some of their food preparation skills from Year 2. We identified a range of kitchen utensils and their uses then, with a carrot eat, we used peelers to peel all the skin off the carrot, graters to grate some of the carrots into bits and then knives to cut the carrots into slices.  We revisited the different grips we could use whilst chopping/cutting (bridge grip and claw grip) remembering to keep our fingers well out of the way of the knife we were using.
