Hello, everybody, I'm Mr. Ballam.

Thanks very much for joining me today.

And today we're going to be making some delicious fruit salad kebabs.

Okay, so let's get started, shall we? So what are we gonna learn today? Well, we're going to learn how to make fruit salad kebabs.

I'm so excited.

Are you? So let's look at some key words that we're going to learn and the things I'm going to do today.

So the first word, can you say it with me? Peeling.

That's right.

And that's to remove the outer skin from a fruit.

So we're going to peel a fruit today with our hands.

The second word is bridge hold.

Now, this is a very safe way on how to cut a food in half.

And we're going to look at this in more detail to make sure you cut very, very safely.

And the third word is threading.

And this is where we're going to push the food onto a cocktail stick.

So we are going to thread the different pieces of fruit onto the cocktail stick.

So it looks really pretty and lovely.

Okay, let's get started, shall we? So the first part of the lesson is all about making your fruit salad kebabs.

Now most people don't have enough fruit and vegetables, so we all need to eat more of these types of foods.

We all need to get at least 5 a day.

Do you get your 5 a day? Do you have five different fruit and vegetables every day? Hmm? I wonder what you had yesterday.

Did you have five fruit and vegetables yesterday? Hmm? Count them on your fingers, maybe you did.

If you did, well done.

Great job.

So let's see if you've been listening, shall we? So which of these count towards your 5 a day? Which of these is a portion of fruit? Is it A, B or C? That's right, isn't it? Strawberries.

Strawberries are a fruit.

The fruit muffin, no, there's not enough fruit in that.

And rice, no, that's not a fruit either, is it? So it's strawberries.

Well done, everybody.

So fruit salad kebabs are pieces of fruit on a cocktail stick or a skewer? A skewer is a longer cocktail stick.

And they're usually made of wood but can be made of metal too.

And they use different types of fruit.

And fruit salad kebabs can be eaten as a snack or perhaps after a meal.

And remember a fruit salad kebab can count towards your 5 a day.

Isn't that brilliant? And delicious too.

Now lots of different fruit can be used such as, Oh, strawberries or banana, grapes, mango.

Well done if you got that one correct.

That one was more tricky, wasn't it? But some of you might be familiar or unfamiliar with different types of fruit.

Now also canned or dried fruit can also be used.

I bet that would be really interesting to do, wouldn't it? Lots of different flavours and different textures.

Now, true or false? Canned and dried fruit can be used to make a fruit salad kebab.

Is that true or false? That's right.

It's true, isn't it? And why? Well, fresh canned and dried fruit all count as one of your 5 a day.

So they work really well on fruit salad kebabs.

Great, well done.

So to make your fruit salad kebab, this is what we're going to do.

We're going to do some peeling.

And do you remember I said we're going to peel away using our hands, aren't we? So we can peel the skin away from some fruit by hand.

Now this photo is showing an orange, but what else can we peel with our hand? What type of fruit? Hmm? I might peel it like this.

Did you say banana? Well done, yes.

That's another fruit, isn't it? That we can peel with our hand.

And when we've got the skin, we can make sure they put it into the food waste or into a food compost bin just to make sure it's being dealt with really, really well.

So which fruit can you peel by hand? Is it A, B, or C? That's right, isn't it? It's bananas.

We can peel a banana using our hands.

Usually we do it like this, we peel it down.

Well done, everybody.

It'd be really hard to peel with cherry and an apple by hand, wouldn't it? So also to make our fruit salad kebabs, we are going to do some cutting.

And this is really important we do this safely because we're going to be using a knife and we're going to use a cutting technique called the bridge hold.

And if you look at the photo there, can you see the hand? It's over that tomato, isn't it? And it looks a little bit like a bridge, but it's a really safe way to cut food.

So you hold the food with your fingers and thumb, make a bridge, and you run the knife underneath and cut the food in half.

So let's have a little look at the bridge hold in action, shall we? So they're putting it on this chopping board, nice and safe.

They're going to make a bridge using their thumb and fingers.

And then they're gonna run the knife underneath.

And we can also use a fork to hold the food when we're cutting.

And this is another safe way to cut food.

We're also going to be threading, do you remember this? This is when we push the fruit onto the cocktail stick or skewer.

And you can see here in the photograph, they're pushing the fruit down through the cocktail stick on the chopping board.

And that's a really safe way of doing it.

So you're not holding it and pushing the fruit that way.

You're pushing the fruit down onto the chopping board.

Lovely and safe.

So be careful though, when you're threading, 'cause the cocktail sticks can be sharp.

And we want to push onto the chopping board.

So let's have a quick check, shall we? So what equipment are we gonna be using for threading? Is it A, B, or C? That's right, we are gonna use a cocktail stick, aren't we? We gonna use a cocktail stick to thread the fruit to make our fruit salad kebabs.

Well done if you got that one correct.

So here's the task and we're all going to make delicious fruit salad kebabs.

So I want you to follow the recipe carefully.

But before you cook, I want to make sure that you are ready to cook.

So you've tied up any long hair, you've removed your jumpers, you've washed your hands, and you've put on a lovely clean apron.

And we also need to make sure we've got our equipment and our ingredients ready too.

And then as you are cooking, I want you to think about being safe and hygienic, which means to be clean.

And also I want you to think about your food skills that you're using.

So things like peeling and cutting.

I want you to do that safely and accurately.

So let's look at the recipe, shall we? So to make your fruits salad kebabs, these are the ingredients you need.

We're going to use a satsuma, banana, some canned pear, and some strawberries, hmm, delicious.

And here's the equipment that you need to get ready too.

And here's the method.

Okay, so pause the video, go and make your fruit salad kebabs, and then let's catch up afterwards to see how you got on.

Good luck.

See you soon.

Okay, so how did you get on? Did you enjoy making your fruits salad kebabs? So to make your fruits salad kebabs, you would've followed these steps, wouldn't you? Let's go through them.

So you peeled the satsuma and you separated it.

You peeled the banana.

You cut the banana into four pieces.

You cut the pear into four pieces.

You pulled the stalk off the strawberry.

You then cut the strawberries in half.

And then you threaded the fruits onto the skewers.

Well done.

I bet they look absolutely amazing.

You're doing so well.

You are my really brilliant mini chefs.

So then, let's have a look about tasting them.

Mm, delicious.

So do you remember, we can describe how our food looks, smells and tastes.

And we use our senses, don't we? Do you remember? We use our eyes to look.

We use our nose to smell.

And we use our mouth to taste.

So we use our senses here.

So what do we use to smell a food? Is it A, B, or C? That's right, is B, isn't it? We use our nose.

Well done.

True or false? We can describe how a food looks, smells, or tastes.

Is that true or false? That's right, it's true, isn't it? And why? Well, we use our eyes, nose, and mouth to help describe how a food looks, smells, and tastes.

Well done, everybody.

So let's look at this task together, shall we? So let's answer the questions that Jacob has.

So what's Jacob saying? "Did you like your fruit salad kebab?" Hmm, what would I say to Jacob? And, "Why?" Hmm? Have a think about that.

And then also Jacob is asking you to describe the way it looks, smells and tastes.

So your fruit salad looks, smells and tastes.

So pause the video now, answer the questions that Jacob had and we'll come back together very shortly, good luck.

Okay, so how did you get on? Let's have a look at them together, shall we? So the first one was, "Did you like your fruit salad kebab?" And the answer is "Yes, I liked it." Well, that's great, isn't it? But why? Well, "It was colourful and fun to make." Well they're very good reasons, aren't they? I think that's great.

And we were also asked to describe the looks, smell, and taste of our fruit salad kebabs.

What did you put? Here's some examples, "It looks colourful." That's a good word, isn't it? "It smells like bananas." That's good, or, "It tastes sweet." Now there are lots of different words that you could have used.

Well done if you've got any of those.

I'm sure you've come up with some brilliant ideas.

Well, I hope you've been enjoying this lesson and I hope you've learned loads making your fruit salad kebabs.

So remember, we all need to eat at least 5 a day.

That's five different types of fruit and vegetables every day.

And some fruit we can peel away the skin with our hands, can't we? And fruit is threaded onto a cocktail stick to make our fruit salad kebabs.

We also have learned that we can cut fruit using the bridge hold, which is a safe cutting technique, which is really good to use and we need to remember that one for the future.

And lastly, we can describe how our food looks, smells and tastes.

So I hope you really enjoyed it and hope you come back again very soon for another cooking and nutrition lesson.

Thanks ever so much and I'll see you soon.

Take care.

Bye.
