Fruit Dessert and Milk Practical for Senior 1 Class – April 2024

On the 17th and 24th of April 2024, the Senior 1 girls took part in a Home Economics practical. The girls had to prepare a fruit dessert and a healthy drink. They prepared a fruit parfait with fresh and dried fruits, wholemeal cereals, oats, muesli, and yogurt. The girls also practised their cutting skills by cutting colourful fruit that they chose. They also used strawberries, a fruit which is in season, to make use of seasonal fruit highlighting the importance of sustainability. They discussed the benefits of eating fruit. As a drink, they prepared a milk and honey drink. The girls learned more about the importance of consuming milk at their age as it contains all the nutrients, mostly calcium.

 

The girls were prepared for the session by Ms Rachel Sladden, the H.E. teacher, with the help of Ms Bernardette Mercieca and Ms Lara Treichel.
