The story

The olives reach the washing stage. Water helps remove soil and dirt left on the surface. The woman in charge explains that the system must be kept clean and the used water must be managed properly.

Leo looks at a drawing of a damaged fruit. ‘Does it become as good as new now?’ ‘No,’ Tila replies. ‘Washing does not make every problem go away. That is why we saw the checks too.’ Ada draws a little trace of soil coming off an olive. Rumo thinks of the water in the garden:

here too, its use needs to be organised carefully. Sami puts this stage beside leaf removal. The olives are ready to change shape, but the oil is still inside.

Let’s talk about it

What is washing the olives for?

One possible answer

It helps remove soil and dirt from the surface. It does not replace checks on the condition of the fruit.

A little activity

Our notebook — Point to the dirt being removed in the drawing. Explain the difference between cleaning a surface and checking a fruit.
