Year 6 (Class 16) - Design Technology - Preserving Strawberries
Class 16 have enjoyed trying the different ways that strawberries can be preserved.
They tried tinned, dried in the air fryer and jam. The jam was the winner.
Some of the children were surprised how nice the tinned ones tasted once the got over the look of them.
