Healthy Lunch

On Friday 11 March we went to Lincoln New World and bought the ingredients for our healthy lunch. We had a great time creating our menu and then making our sushi, pizza, vegetable and fruit platters.

A big thank you to Kyle and Helen Burnett from the Lincoln New Word for sponsoring our Healthy Lunch.

Also a big thank you to Robin, Liz, Gail, Amanda and Ruth - the terrific parent helpers and to Mrs Graves for her great organisation.

Healthy Food

For our inquiry we are learning all about food and exercise.

A dietician came to our school and talked about the food pyramid. The food pyramid is a triangle with fruit & vegetable, milk & dairy and meat and alternatives.

The dietician gave us two pictures of different types of food.Then we had to guess where each picture went on the food pyramid.

My two pictures were corn and fish. The fish went in the meat and alternatives, and the corn went in the fruit & vegetables.

Did you know?

Did you know that there is a type of fruit called Kiwano?

You should have at least 2 pieces of fruit a day?

Room 5’s Food inquiry

For Room 5’s Inquiry we are learning about food. First off a dietician came and told as about the different food groups:

cereal and bread

fruit and vegetables,

milk and dairy,

meat and alternatives,

and junk.

After that we each got handed a cereal box. Liz (The dietician) told us to look at the back and read the salt, sugar and fat content. Then we played a game, we had to close our eyes and she would call out an energy drink and we put our hand up for the one we thought had the least amount of sugar.
