We had a brilliant sensory morning diving headfirst into the vibrant world of Handa’s Surprise.

To bring the story to life, the children took part in a fruit taste test. From sweet, juicy pineapple to tangy oranges, watching their expressions with every bite was absolutely priceless.

This hands-on experience sparked a fantastic carpet discussion, where we explored new vocabulary like delicious and tangy. I was so proud to see the children enthusiastically head back to their tables to use these rich descriptive words in their independent writing.
