This week in Cooking Club we made fruit Kebabs. We had a range of fruits to choose from: mango, pineapple, melon, kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, strawberry and oranges. We looked carefully at the fruits and talked about the taste and textures of them. Next we used knives to cut the fruit into smaller pieces to go onto our skewer. We had to be careful because the skewer had a sharp end. When adding our fruit we tried to use as many different types as possible to make it colourful and to make sure we are getting our 5 a day
