Raumati Pear Harvest





Today Year Six ate the pears that were harvest last week.  We made our taste test a mindfulness exercise; thinking carefully about the feel, smell, look and taste and our piece of pear.






It feels smooth, cold, rough

It feels like a slug

It was crunchy, slippery, juicy

It looked lime green like a green apple

It looks a half moon

The pear was sweet, sour, juicy, crunchy&  fruity to taste.

Ana "It smells like chlorine"

"It smells like watermelon and apple*

It smells ripe

It feels wet

It feels juicy


We sketched the pears and came up with a line of poetry about them  to make a collaborative poem:

Our school pears are fine & devine,

Crispy, zesty,

Irresistible sweet bells,

Gorgeous pears full of glee

A sweet afternoon tea,

yummy pear

Honestly to sweet to bare.

Scrumptious sour candy.

Hard as a green rock,

Could survive a bullet from a glock.

It tasted yummy

When it went in my tummy.

Munch, crunch, 

In our lunch

What a lovely sight to see

Thank you to our Waka Tree
