CHILDREN celebrated National Apple Day by planting apple trees this week.
The youngsters from five East Cleveland schools also tasted different apples and played a game to see who could peel the longest piece of peel.
They also enjoyed apple printing and a quiz at the Sure Start Community Allotment in Liverton Mines, near Saltburn.
Linda White is a community development worker from Sure Start, which organised the event in conjunction with the Groundwork Trust.
She 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.
