Just as the children in the Rainbow Room learned about the food triangle and which type of foods help to keep us healthy, those in the Raindrop Room investigated how much sugar was in different types of foods. They found out about checking packaging to check which ingredients are in food and they then measured the amount of sugar there was in each example that they looked at. Once the sugar was on the scales, the children seemed quite surprised at the amount each item had and they were able to compare different foods. Hopefully the children are now beginning to develop an understanding that sugar is not only in sweets as they tended to believe initially.<\/p>\n
