This week we are looking at why we need to look after ourselves to ensure that we can live a healthy life in our Healthy Living Week.
Today we have been thinking about why we need food …
We have also been learning about how important it is to eat a balanced diet and used the Eatwell Plate Guide to help us understand the different food types.
We also looked at the difference between unprocessed, processed and super-processed foods…
We then looked at the energy content of different foods…
We had some interesting answers to the question about how much energy an 8 year old child would need from 20,000kj to 100kj! It is actually 7000kj.
We finished by reminding ourselves of how important it is that we look after our bodies, and that one way we can do this is by eating a balanced and healthy diet.
