Exploring different fruit from around the world

This week in Reception, the children have been engaging in an exciting exploration of the world. As part of our ongoing theme of exploration, we delved into the diverse range of fruits and vegetables that are found in different parts of the world.

The lesson began with a discussion where the children shared their knowledge of fruits. They talked about the fruits they already know and enjoyed, identifying their favourites. The children eagerly contributed their ideas, with some mentioning common fruits like apples, bananas, and strawberries.

Next, we expanded our exploration by introducing a selection of exotic fruits from around the world. The children had the opportunity to learn about and observe fruits such as guava, custard apples, passion fruit, Sharon fruit, and mini bananas. We discussed the unique features of each fruit, such as their colours, shapes, and textures.

The children showed great interest in these new fruits, asking questions and expressing curiosity about their origins. Through this hands-on experience, the children not only enhanced their knowledge of different fruits but also developed an appreciation for the diversity of foods found globally.
