Let’s have a balanced diet!

Hello Primary 2!

During the past weeks in our English classes, we learned about food and healthy habits. We talked about fruits, vegetables, and healthy meals, and we learned why it is important to have a balanced diet and stay healthy.

We also explored the food pyramid and discovered that we should eat more fruits and vegetables, some proteins and dairy products as well as less sweets and junk food.

After that, we worked in groups creating our pyramids about healthy food. Each group designed a food pyramid or a healthy pyramid, including pictures that they found in magazines such as fruits, vegetables, and other food groups like proteins and carbohydrates. This activity helped students cooperate, share ideas, and work as a team!

Finally, each group gave an oral presentation in English to the class. They explained their posters using simple sentences such as:

  • “Fruits and vegetables are very healthy.” «We should eat five or six pieces of fruits and vegetables per day»

  • “This is our food pyramid. On top of the pyramid you can see sugar and unhealthy products like candies or chocolates.”

  • “We should drink lots of water and do exercise regularly.”

We will continue talking about healthy habits in order to have a healthy lifestyle and become super strong kids!

Have a nice weekend and remember… eat a rainbow!

 

 

 

HEALTHY FOOD IN OUR LIVES!

Hello food lovers!

In Primary 2, we continue with the topic of healthy life and healthy food! We have been learning about different foods, not only fruits and vegetables, but also food that can be healthy or unhealthy.

We are creating our own FOOD PYRAMID! The pyramid is divided into five food groups and we are learning what a healthy balanced diet should include.

We are using food from those five groups: fruits and vegetables, grains, proteins, dairy products, sweets… that we find in markets leaflets and organising them into different levels according to the quantities we should take in our daily life.

Here you have some pics of the process! We love working in teams!

         

And here you have a funny song that we like so much! 🙂
