Today, Class 1A set off for The Hub to make our own smoothies. Before we could start preparing the food, we needed to wash our hands with soap and water to make sure that they were germ free. After that, we could get started on prepping the fruit. Independently, we used great peeling skills, cutting skills and practised our bridge hold when slicing the banana. We used equipment such as knives and spoons and noisy hand blenders. Our teachers helped us to press the button to make it work. We loved seeing how the colour changed as the ingredients were blended together. Someone said that “it looks like purple rain” and someone else thought it looked like “purple lava.”
Here’s what we did:
We peeled the banana, 
sliced the banana, 
spooned in some fruit, 
spooned in some yogurt, 
poured in some milk and then blended it all together before serving. 
Help at home: You could recreate the recipe below at home. Perhaps you could substitute some of the ingredients to make a different kind of smoothie which includes some of your favourite fruits.
You could also include your child in some other cooking recipes at home. For inspiration of other child friendly recipes, you could watch some episodes of Big Cook Little Cook on CBeebies.
