Last week, the nursery children met a new friend called Mairi. Mairi works as part of the High-5 for fruit initiative, who provide nurseries with weekly fruit. Mairi took children in small groups to read a story and then the children could taste the food associated with the book. There were avocados, oranges, pineapples and lots more! The boys and girls found that the avocados weren’t as yummy as the sweet oranges and felt quite strange when they touched it. If the children didn’t want to eat the fruit, they could smell it, feel it or even lick it! The children learned about lots of healthy fruits and why it’s so important to eat fruit each day!<\/p>\n
