CHILDREN celebrated National Apple Day by planting apple trees.
The youngsters from five east Cleveland schools also tasted different apples, played a game to see who could produce the longest piece of peel, and enjoyed apple printing and a quiz at the Sure Start Community Allotment in Liverton Mines, near Saltburn.
Community development worker Linda White, from Sure Start, who organised the event with the Groundwork Trust, said: "We wanted to bring the children to the allotment to have fun and go away with an increased enthusiasm for apples and our allotment.
"They'll be taking a basket of apples back to their schools, enough for every child to eat an apple on Apple Day, and we hope they will come back in the future and sample the apples that are growing on the trees they planted."
