He aha tō tino? What's your favourite?

 The weeks have been flying by... 'o' week turned very quickly into 'g' week! So the scientists we are we decided to look carefully at some delicious winter fruit. Namely oranges and grapefruit.

Not everyone had tried grapefruit before. So we sat them next to each other and talked about the differences between the fruit. What can you see? What do you notice?
Oranges are like circles... are like balls... are orange.
Grapefruit look like lemons. Do they? They look like flat lemons. They look yellow.
We cut them open to further our investigation. 
Do they look the same?
We smelt them - is there a difference? Yes! Oranges smell like oranges... what do grapefruit smell like?
Then the taste test - umm... some not so keen - a quick lick? 
Oranges were the universal favourite - but it's always good to try new things!
