Every time a coconut!!

In Room 7 we managed to get hold of a Coconut to study and have a look at, most of the children had never seen one let alone cracked it open and tasted one.  We named it spiky as it looked a bit like a hedgehog.  It was a real fun experience shaking it and listening to the liquid slosh around inside!!
First we hypothesised what it may look/taste like, then we got Gary to drill a hole in it for us and crack it open.  Upon tasting the coconut milk the reactions varied from fresh, and yummy to yuck and disgusting.  But we all agreed that the coconut flesh wasn't too bad.
PS - did you know more people are killed every year by falling coconuts than are killed by sharks!!!
