A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Archived - Design and technology, Year 1, Cooking and nutrition: Fruit and vegetables.

This resource introduces the pupils to the importance of healthy eating and food preparation. It explains the differences between fruits, such as oranges and strawberries, which contain seeds, and vegetables, like carrots and broccoli, which do not. The pupils will also learn about the need to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables daily to maintain good health. The organiser includes key vocabulary words, such as blender, peeler, slice, smoothie, and recipe, to build the pupils’ understanding of the tools and techniques used in preparing food. They will practise skills like peeling, slicing, and blending, developing confidence in handling ingredients and understanding how tools assist in preparation. The focus on food hygiene, including washing hands and cleaning tools, ensures safe and effective learning.
