This term, we have been learning about the Eatwell plate and what foods go in each food group. We have learned that it is really important to have foods from a variety of food groups in order to eat healthily. We taste tested combinations of ingredients to see what went well together and then designed a wrap that would be tasty and healthy.
We had great fun preparing ingredients for our wraps and learned how to chop foods up with a knife by making a bridge with our hands. Once we had made our wraps, we reviewed them against our success criteria to see just how tasty and healthy they were. We tried to include ingredients from at least three food groups in our wrap and we have found that there are new foods that we will try.
Putting an apron on was trickier than we thought … 
We learned that teamwork is the key to putting an apron on. 
First of all, we worked in pairs to grate the cheese. 
One person grated, while their partner made sure we didn’t grate our fingers! 
Next, we learned how to do a bridge cut to cut up the cucumber. 
Can you spot us using the bridge cut again? 
Next, we reviewed our designs and it was time to start making a wrap. 
We tried to choose ingredients from different food groups. 
This wrap is looking very tasty. 
I think I’ll have a spoonful of cheese. 
We had to make sure that we didn’t overfill the wraps. 
Some wraps contained more ingredients … 
than others! 
Another tricky skill we learned was how to fold up the wrap. 
Maybe, I’ve put too much in my filling? 
Finally … 
it was time … 
to eat them!
When reviewing the wraps, many of the children said that they were wonderful, tasty, fantastic, delicious and brilliant. Stefan said ‘I loved it so much’ and Teo wrote ‘I’ve never had a wrap that good!’ Well done to the Year 2 chefs who have learned a great skill that they will be able to do at home too.
