This week Tracey from Tesco came to our class and was teaching us about rainforest fruits. We were given world maps and had to mark on the different rainforests around the world. Some of the rainforests we had never heard of for example the Cloud Forest in Ecuador. Once we had finished finding all the rainforests we go to try some of the fruits that grow there.

We tasted papaya, pineapple, mango, blueberries and coconut. These fruits come from rainforests all around the world. Once we tasted them we had to mark on our world maps where they were from.  Papaya and coconuts were from the Amazon Rainforest and the pineapples came from Costa Rica.

I tasted them all but my favourite was the pineapple – Annie

I also tasted them all and I liked the pineapple the best too but I didn’t like the papaya much – Louise

At the end of our session Tracey set us a challenge to design the craziest fruit. It could be fruits mixed together or your favourite food mixed with a fruit.  On the back of our maps we had to draw our fruit and see what the combination was. We had to make sure it had a name and then write about where it grew. We could be as imaginative as we liked. All entries need to be in by Wednesday so that they can be sent to Tracey who will choose a winner. There will be a prize for the overall P6 winner.
