Last Thursday we had a pineapple tasting session in class. This was inspired by an article the Kereru reading group read called, 'I wish I could taste it!' and it was all about pineapples. 

We had three different types of pineapple to eat; dried, canned and fresh. We sat in a big circle and waited until everyone had a piece so we could try it at the same time. Then we wrote down all the different words we could that described the taste, smell or look of that particular pineapple. 

11 of us liked the dried pineapple, 11 of us liked the canned pineapple and 12 of us liked the fresh pineapple. Below you can read a small part of some of the writing produced by the Room 16 students about their pineapple tasting experience:

Tia: I liked the one that was in a can, it was delicious.
Reydon: The dried pineapple tasted like raisins, it was crunchy. 
Latoya: The pineapple was sweet and I could taste the sugar. 
Aly: The fresh pineapple tasted like Hawaiian Pizza. 
Phlayme: The pineapple was squidgy in my mouth. 
Aniisa: When I first tasted the pineapple it tasted scrumptious and delicious. 
Heath: We tasted dried pineapple, it tasted like a banana.
