Life Education Bus visit

Today we had Pip and Harold come to school to teach us about Food and Nutrition. The Middle Room learnt about the different food groups and how many servings we should eat of each group.

Food servings:

Dairy products 2-3 servings a day

Proteins- meats, nuts etc - 1-2 servings a day

Fruits and vegetables - 5+

Breads, cereals grains  - 6+ servings a day

Treats - once a week

We also looked at the sugar and fat content in foods and how to read the information on the packaging. The best part was when we got to see inside the human body by scanning Caitlyn!

Thanks to Pip and Harold for coming in to teach us about healthy eating!

Life Education Bus

Today we had a visit from Pip and Harold the giraffe from the Life Education Trust. We were lucky enough to get to visit the bus for two sessions. Our focus in the bus was friendships and the need to treat others the way we want to be treated. We discussed what a good friend is and how we can use these qualities to create positive relationships with others. Pip read us a story about being Bucket Fillers and Bucket Dippers. A bucket filler is someone who does and says kind things to people while a bucket dipper does or says something that causes someone to feel sad. We all want to be bucket fillers! We learnt a great quote which was "You don't need to be friends to be friendly".

Harold came out to say hello to us several times throughout the lessons and he even sang a song for us at the end! We really enjoyed our time in the bus today. 
Thanks for coming Pip and Harold!

Check out some photos of us in the Life Education Bus!
