Health

Last week for health we looked at the food pyramid and how many serves of each food group we should be having. This week we decided to look at our own lunches. We sorted the food in our lunchboxes into 5 groups: Protein, Fruits & Vegetables, Fats & Oils, Wheat & Grains, and Dairy. It was very interesting to see which groups had the most food in them. Everyone had a lot of wheat and grains as well as fruit and vegetables which was great.

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.

Constable Rochelle and Kia Kaha!

Today Constable Rochelle came to teach us as part of the Kia Kaha - Anti Bullying programme we are doing for health. We learnt that NO bullying is acceptable. We also learnt that if we are bystanders we can be just as bad as the bully. Telling an older person or adult we trust about bullying is really important. This will let the person getting bullied, get help.

Some of the different types of bullying are physical, verbal and cyber bullying. NO bullying is acceptable and we need to do all we can to help anyone who is being bullied.

Kia Kaha Programme

We are doing the Kia Kaha - Anti Bullying Programme at school for the next few weeks. This is our health topic. This programme is taught with the help of our local Police Youth Education Officer, Constable Rochelle Gordon. Yesterday we had our first lesson and looked at how we are all different and similar. We need to accept people for who they are, just because they may look different does not mean we have the right to judge them.

After that we looked at how we are special as individuals and how our class is special. We started creating shields to show this. We still need to finish them.

Check out some photos below of us doing the similarities and differences activities with a black and white and then colour photo. The photo was the same.
