Celebration Ideas
Exit Points
To celebrate the learning achieved throughout this unit, here are examples of some planned exit points for the children to showcase their learning.
Resources
This will depend on the choice of task. See linked Exit Point resources.
Fruit and Nutrition Fair
Organise a fair where children set up booths representing different fruits. Each booth can include information about the fruit’s health benefts, nutritional value, and creative ways to incorporate it into a healthy diet. Children can engage visitors, including parents and other classes, by offering fruit samples, distributing informational brochures, or conducting mini demonstrations.
Fruit Quiz Show
Divide the class into teams and host a lively quiz show where children answer questions related to fruits, their origins, nutritional facts, and preparation techniques. The teams can earn points for correct answers, and the winning team can receive small fruit-related prizes.
Master Chef Fruit Dish Showcase
Each child presents their own fruit salad or fruit smoothie to a panel of judges. The judges evaluate the dishes based on taste, presentation, and creativity using predetermined criteria. Children explain their recipe choices, techniques, and the story behind their creation. Judges taste and evaluate each dish, providing feedback and scoring. Winners are announced based on the scores, and certifcates or small prizes are awarded to recognise their culinary skills.
