Tasting Tropical Fruit

Following on from reading the Handa's Surprise story, we enjoyed tasting the different fruits on Friday. Some of the children tried everything! Some tried just a few. Some Ducklings were very cautious and watched their friends try first, then were brave enough to have a taste too!!

The children thought of some super adjectives to describe the different fruits, such as juicy, sweet, sticky, sour, tangy, chewy slimy!

We discussed how some of the fruits looked very different on the inside to the skin or peel on the outside. We also talked about the fruits that have seeds or a large stone. The children wondered whether the animals in the story woukd eat the stones or not. What do you think?

Look at the photo gallery below. Can you guess which photos are of the children tasting the tangy, purple passionfruit?!!
