School Bananas

Did you know that Parnell School has a Banana tree? 

On Thursday Room 8 were food scientists and looked at the difference between supermarket bananas and our school bananas. 

The bananas grow in great big bunches. The school bananas look like the letter l and the super market bananas look like the letter c. 

The school bananas have bigger seeds than the supermarket bananas. The supermarket banana seeds are so small you can hardly see them. 

The school bananas are very ripe. Charlotte thinks they taste like feijoas. Retaj thinks they taste like oranges. Ethan thinks they are YUM. 

The bananas are so ripe they are starting to turn black. They are perfect for making banana pikelets!
