Fruit Tasting

This week in DT, we have been exploring fruits and vegetables.

First we looked at a variety of fruits and vegetebles and sorted these into a table

The children have been learning this week that a plant is categorised as a fruit if it contains seeds.

They had the exciting opportunity to explore and taste a variety of 12 different fruits and had to decided whether they liked the taste of them or not in order to plan and design their fruit salad that they will be making next week!

Fruits included: banana, blueberry, rasspberry, strawberry, tangerine, honeydew melon, galia melon, apple, pear, grapes, mango and plum.

For each fruit the children had to think of these questions:

• Can they spot the seeds in the fruit?
• Can they use adjectives to describe what the fruit looks like?
• Can they describe what the fruit tastes like?
• Did they like the taste of the fruit? Give reasons for their answers.
