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!

Healthy Eating

For the next couple of weeks our health topic is Food and Nutrition. This week we looked at the food pyramid. We had to cut out a range of different foods and place them in the 6 food groups on the food pyramid. It was quite interesting to see how many serves we should have of each food group and the types of foods we should be eating more of. This topic is going to link in with our Life Education Bus visit in week 3.
