Term 3
Making and comparing soup and fruit salad with astronaut food
Today we have been very busy making vegetable soup and fruit salad. We have learnt about the importance of washing our hands and how to prepare the fruit and vegetables. We have been peeling, slicing, and chopping. We have found out where the vegetables and fruit grow too. We used onions, celery, carrots, garlic, parsnips, leeks and potatoes to make our vegetable soup. We used strawberries, apples, bananas, oranges and melon to make our fruit salad. Some of us tried the soup and we compared it to astronaut soup. Most preferred the cuppa soup without the ‘lumpy’ bits! We also tried the fruit salad and compared it to the astronaut apple which was very chewy and like a ‘marshmallow’ . Most people liked the fresh fruit salad!
