Yesterday was fruit tasting day!
The Reception children went out to have a look in our planters and to see if we could find any fruit and vegetables that may have been growing in them. The children enjoyed communicating with each other, talking about what they had found and helping each other to dig up the potatoes. We used our mathematical skills to compare sizes and weight, and discussed how long we thought they may have been growing for.
We talked about how the potatoes were created and what we thought they would have needed in the environment to help them grow. We could tell the children had been listening to our conversations last year as most of them knew that the rain and the sunshine had helped to create everything in our planters, along with a little help from our budding gardeners of course!!
Meanwhile, the Early Learners made smoothies with the fruits that they had chosen from their recipe books. They used the different utensils to safely cut up and mash up the fruits to make them smooth and then enjoyed tasting their yummy creations afterwards.
