We have been very busy in the Art & Design Area creating drawing, paintings and even some collages of different coloured fruits and vegetables.  We used our pictures to build a food rainbow.  We think it looks amazing on display outside our classroom.

As part of our new topic we have been looking at different fruits and vegetables.  We wondered why fruits and vegetables were the colours that they are and thought what if they were the same shapes but different colours and flavours.

But! we found out that actually you…
