Aroha 1 Making Fruit Salad after reading Fruit Salad book!

We learned the safety around knives and peelers.  We read the book and followed instructions of how to make a fruit salad. After that Mrs Nisha demonstrated the use of utensils and how to make the fruit salad. Then we got in our teams and started peeling the apples. We all got the opportunity to apply peeling skills while peeling an apple. We used Maths to cut the apple in Half and later in Quarters before dicing it.
