Weird Foods

How many of these foods can you name? 
There were some that the children did not recognise in their original state like garlic. Some others that we looked at but did not photograph included fresh garlic, red pepper and other vegetables, pasta and herbs. The children touched, smelled and tasted as many of the foods as they were willing to, including those they did not recognise. We learnt a few facts about each one.

papaya
pomegranate
mango
pineapple
passion fruit or granadilla
 
kiwi fruit
fresh fig

ginger
mooli





A moolie as long as my arm! fancy that
Everyone else also wanted their arm measured
 against the moolie
 - what an amazing vegetable!
Feel the ginger ...

not so great tasting when it's raw!

Army Style Exercises

A grown up casually sat or lay on either side of this blue blanket to anchor it to the floor while the children crawled through one at a time. After the first child was courageous enough to attempt this, most of the children were keen to try.This created many new wave hair styles which we all found most amusing!
