We have been busy looking at the food packaging from our fruit tasting afternoon. \u00a0It was amazing to see where our fruit has travelled from to get to our classroom! \u00a0Most of the fruit came from Africa, South America and Spain. \u00a0As a class, we plotted these fruits on a large map and had fun looking at an atlas to see if we could find these countries for ourselves. \u00a0Some pupils couldn’t believe how tiny Shetland was in comparison to other places around the world!<\/p>\n

We discussed how important it was to try and buy local produce as much as we can, but of course this is not always possible when buying pineapples or bananas!<\/p>\n
