Date and theme
14th and 15th January 2026 – Apple and Cinnamon Winter Drink
Week’s focus:
This week we focused on how to keep our body healthy and safe.
Learning Activities and Adventures
The children cooked a winter warming drink over a campfire.
Skills & Learning Highlights
Children learnt to eat and drink healthily. They learnt to use a safety knife to chop an apple, used a squeezer to collect orange juice and used a ladle to stir the mixture. They learnt to take turns. They also knew how to walk around the campfire circle safely.
Reflections / What We Noticed
The group worked very well in working in groups of three, chopping and squeezing juice. Then they all collaborated in taking turns in adding the ingredients to the pot and stirring the mixture. They really enjoyed making a warming drink over a fire to keep themselves warm on a cold Winters day.
Nature Connection / Observations
The group talked about how healthy the fruit and spice were. They liked a drizzle of honey added to their drink for a little sweetness. They know that honey is made by bees and not made in a factory.
