This week, the children in cooking group enjoyed using their senses to explore a variety of exotic fruits such as; grapefruit, passion fruit, dragonfruit, papaya, kumquats, lemons and limes.
They demonstrated great fine motor skills as they chopped, peeled and squeezed their fruit.
Children also used a range of vocabulary such as ‘juicy’, ‘tart’, ‘sweet’ and ‘sour’ to describe what they could see, taste, feel and smell.
This was a great opportunity to experience fruits they may not usually encounter in their daily diets.
To finish, children made a list of the fruits that they would love to include in their ideal fruit salad.
