Peter from the Glasgow fruit market came to support our Health Week on Tuesday. He worked with our infant department. He explained the role of a market worker and we were shocked to hear he has been working since 3am and some others start work at 2am in the morning!
 
He brought along lots of fruit and vegetables from other countries. Everyone did their best to guess where they came from.
 
Peter brought grapes from Brazil, bananas from South America, Strawberries from Spain, melon from Chilli and lots more interesting fruit and veg like ginger and eggplant.
 
The children had a quiz with Peter and had to name fruit and vegetables beginning with different sounds! They also had to make a healthy lunchbox.
 
Peter talked about fruits that grow in warmer countries and stressed the importance of establishing lifelong healthy eating habits.
 
The children then had the lovely task of tasting the delicious fresh fruit from the market, some children chose to taste fruit that they had never tasted before.
 
It was a delightful visit enjoyed be all. We would love to welcome Peter back to school and hope he has a long lie soon after all those early mornings!
