Fruit and Vegetables By Hazel Wickham

My name is Hazel and I am in grade 1. I found some fruits and vegetables at home that I like to eat to stay healthy. I will tell you about these fruits and vegetables and also why it is important to know them.

First I would like to tell you about fruit and vegetables and how to know the difference between them.

Fruit : Grows mostly on trees. Think of a lemon tree or an apple tree.

Vegetables : Grows mostly under or near the ground. Think of spinach and lettuce.

I will now show you five fruits and five vegetables that I eat most of the time.

S s This is a vegetable This is a green Spinach

Sorting Fruits and vegetables belong to two groups

Fruit and vegetables are very healthy because they have lots of vitamins Vit C Vit A Vitamins keep us healthy and strong Vit C

Me + Vitamins = Health

Why must I know my fruits and vegetables? I need to know my fruits and vegetables because there are poisonous things that one can eat and this will kill you. Some types of mushrooms are poisonous and if I do not know this and eat it, I will die. If we do not learn about our fruits and vegetables we will not know what we can eat or not.
