After the book we looked at the fruits from the story. The children were fascinated with the pineapple but didnt like the feel of it. We also had tangerine, passion fruit, avocado, mango, orange and banana. They got to handle them all and taste most of them. They all loved it.

We went to the zoo. The weather was bad again but the children didn’t care and we made the most of the visit. We saw lions, tigers, elephant, giraffe, gorilla, orangutan, rhino, zebra and baby flamingos out for a walk. When the weather got too bad we went into the soft play area and then to the crocodile and reptile houses.

We drew around the children’s feet and then used the templates to measure various things in the house. We then compared the measurements to see how many of each of the children’s foot sizes everything was. We also looked at a tape measure to see how long a “foot” was.
