Nottingham Catering brings fresh fruit & veg experience to classroom
The session encouraged children to explore food through looking, smelling, touching and tasting. The TastEd classes aim to ‘inspire’ children to be adventurous and try new flavours.
‘Food Explorers’ in reception classes at Seely Primary School have been enjoying an hour of TastEd for six days.
Rebecca Hughes, design and technology lead at Seely Primary School, said: “I think the children absolutely loved TastEd. They could not stop talking about it during the week and they are still talking about it now.
“I have noticed that the children will now explore more food at lunch time, and they will at least try something new. Even if they do not like it, they are proud they have tried it. Parents have told me children have used the tasting skills when eating their dinner and a few parents said their child tried a new food they would not touch before.”
