On Tuesday we went on a bus to Tesco.  Ryan met us at the door and he took us upstairs to the meeting room.  We left our coats there and then we went downstairs and split into two groups.  One group went to the bakery to watch bread getting made and the other group went to the fruit and vegetables and the fish counter.  The baker’s name was Gary and he was making tiger bread in sticks.  He used flour, water, sugar, salt and a special paste that he painted on the top.  We saw the proving room and the big ovens where they bake the bread.  Everyone got a turn of working the machine that puts rolls in bags.  We saw bread being cut into slices and we got a taste of the bread.

At the fruit Ryan sent us off to find different fruits and he asked us questions. He asked us if a pepper was a fruit or a vegetable.  We know do you?  He asked us what countries the fruit came from.  We had to look at the packets to see this.  He asked Mrs Petrie what fruit has no seeds?  The answer was rhubarb.

Then we went to the fish counter where we held a salmon.  Morgan says ‘It felt squishy’.   Kaiden says ‘It felt slimy’.  Isla says ‘It felt cold’.  We saw lemon sole, prawns, oysters, tiger prawns and half of a crab.

Ryan took us to the cheese counter where we tasted different cheeses.  Imogen doesn’t like cheese.  Amber liked cheddar cheese.  Calum liked the smoked cheese.  Lily liked the edam cheese but no one liked the cheese with apricots in it.

In the end we went back to the meeting room and ate some fresh fruit in bowls.  We all enjoyed that!
