When Life Gives You Oranges and Apples

When Life Gives You Oranges and Apples

The Foxes at Bletchingdon recently had the opportunity to decide which activity they would like to explore. They needed to decide between:

Painting with the paint sticks
Making apple jam
Making orange juice
or making beetroot and chocolate cakes

Each child and adult was able to vote using a Compare Bear as a voting token, and, as you can see, making orange juice was the winner by a narrow margin.

The following week we made our yummy orange juice to have with our tea. The children used a variety of muscles to cut and squeeze the oranges to obtain the juice. It was hard work but they did a great job.

There have certainly been lots of apples on the apple tree this year and some of them have been an impressive size. The Foxes also engaged in a little jam making with the apples from the field, and they also created their own labels for the jars.
