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.

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.

Why must I know my fruits and vegetables?

If we do not learn about our fruits and vegetables we will not know what we can eat or not.

Where did I get my information and pictures?
