Fruity Friday

As part of the Incredibleedibles programme the children from 3 class had a fruit tasting session on Friday 6 May. The school already has a healthy eating policy in place and as a result the children's lunches are very nourishing and healthy, many containing a great variety of fruit and vegetables on a daily basis. However after some discussion the children realised that there were a number of fruits that they don't usually eat and some that they had not even tasted. These fruits included avocado, papaya, melon, grapefruit, limes, mango and even plums and peaches. Although the children will probably stick to their old favourites of apples bananas strawberries and occasionally watermelons and oranges they all agreed it was fun tasting the other fruits. Some children were even brave enough to allow themselves to be blindfolded and play guess the fruit by touch, smell and taste.
