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?!!

Little Chicks have been looking at their emotions and feelings each day we have read a different story and then discussed the way we feel with different emotions. Little Chicks painted a self portrait and expressed their feelings.

Little Chicks operated the Easi-cars, they had to turn on the switch and then negotiate the road using the forward and reverse arrow keys. They were supported with verbal prompts to manoeuvre the car around the track.
