Reception carried out a design and technology activity by preparing and making their own sandwich. This linked with the literacy focus text ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’. The children have enjoyed reading and retelling the story and using their imaginations to make changes to the story. They learnt the format and layout of instructions and wrote their own for sandwich making.
The children developed fine motor skills when controlling the knives and graters when preparing the salad and cheese. The children each got a turn to use the knives to cut the cucumber and tomatoes. They also had a turn at using the graters when grating the cheese. The children then enjoyed half of their sandwich at school and took the other half home to enjoy with loved ones.
