We had a pineapple for afternoon tea, so instead of serving it all cut up I thought it would be fun for the children to experience the pineapple. We started off by touching the pineapple and describing what it felt like; the children thought it was hard and prickly. Then they smelt it and they thought it smelt yummy, then I cut the ends off and they were all very pleased with the colour. Finally it was time to taste the pineapple. It was so delicious and juicy that we managed to polish it off without any left overs!!
Using all the senses is a great way to investigate and make discoveries; just the perfect tools for budding young scientists. Roll on summer for all the yummy fruit, we can't wait for more investigating.
