Eating seasonally
Class 6 began their D&T project by looking at different climates around the world. They identified how these differing climates affects which fruit and vegetables can be grown in different countries. They realised that not all the fruits and vegetables eaten in the U.K. can be grown here and, therefore, some are imported from other countries.
Eating seasonally
The children investigated which fruits and vegetables are grown in the U.K. and when they are in season.

During this session we looked at the fruit and vegetable rainbow. The children learnt that each colour of fruit and vegetables provides us with a variety of nutritional benefits.
