Fruity!

After reading Handa's Surprise this got us thinking about fruit - where does it come from? How does it grow? How are fruits the same and different? In the story the parrot pinches the tangy purple passion fruit - but what does 'tangy' mean? The elephant stole the ripe red mango - but what does 'ripe' mean? We looked at, and tasted different fruits to find out. We thought the pomegranate tasted tangy because the juice burst in our mouths and it wasn't too sweet. The banana wasn't very ripe, it was green and not as soft inside but we enjoyed it. We also tried nectarines, figs, limes and mango.
