TOPIC: ORANGES
- Literacy
Children wrote poems on to photocopied sheets showing a cross-section of an orange. Each line of the poem was written in the segments.
Little ones. Instead of writing a poem, they wrote words. For example: tastes, verbs (What can we do with oranges? Eat, drink, juggle...). Or simple sentences or facts ( 'I like oranges', 'I don't like...', 'I like orange juice','Oranges have got vitamin C.'...).
- Maths
Circles and segments.
- Art
Each child cut out two circle cards and they coloured the outside to look like oranges. Then he/she stuck his/her poem. With the oranges we made an orange tree display.
- Science
. We were talking about fruit and healthy food.

. The five senses. The sense of taste.

*The idea of the orange tree is from "Hands on Display" by Rhona Whiteford and Jim Fitzsimmons.
