AUTUMN ACTIVITIES

GRAPE HARVEST

We are the children from the kindergarten Red Classroom.

Last week we visited a vineyard and we caught leaves and grapes.
When we were back in our classroom, we experienced the grape harvest process: we crushed the grapes, separated the must (grape juice), the pips (grape seeds) and the skins.
We drank the grape juice. The grape juice was very sweet.
After this process, the must goes to a cask and stays there for some time, until it becomes wine.

We learned new words:
Vinha – vineyard
Bago – grain
Cacho de uvas – bunch of grapes
Vindima – grape harvest
Pipo - cask
