Mead Room






In the Mead Room this week the children have been fascinated to find where seeds come from and have done some exploring with different kinds of fruit. They have used their senses to taste, smell, touch and look at where the seeds are hiding.
We questioned the children by asking them what was inside the fruit…
Tom:I don’t know
Geordie: It might be kiwi fruit!
Charlie M: Seeds!
Tom: Dese ( these) little black bits. Look everyone!
Peter: I dink (think)… I had it at home… as he observed a passionfruit.
Tom: It’s hard. You can’t even squish it… it’s all slobbery.. Oh! It smells like mango!
Peter: I wanna ‘mell that
The children then ate some of the seeds.
Geordie: It crunchy.
Charlie A: Mmmmmmm
Angus: I’ll try it!
Charlie A: Can we eat the seeds?
The teacher commented : Some seeds can be eaten and some can’t like apple seeds.
