1 Food This series is about the many foods that children enjoy eating. Over the week, we prepare and cook a range of dishes using both everyday and not-so-common ingredients. We also look at presentation and decoration, such as making a table cloth, table napkins and other craft ideas. We visit a farm to see where milk, eggs, vegetables and fruit are grown and find out about the foods that different animals like to eat. EVERY DAY THIS WEEK The Calendar is a kitchen chopping board with the name of the day written in oil and covered with flour. When the board is shaken, the day is revealed.
