Our topic for term 3 is yum yum - an opportunity to learn all about foods, where they grow and experiment with tasting. Today we sampled watermelon which mostly a hit with the children! We worked together to write a descriptive poem about its taste, it’s an appearance and how it feels to touch. I was so impressed with their ability to engage all their senses and select words to describe them.
