Nutrition

We have been learning about different nutritional needs. We researched different needs such as allergies and religions, who can only eat certain foods. We planned meals for particular individuals.

We focussed on how much sugar we eat and used the Change4Life Food Scanner app to identify how many sugar cubes are in each item we eat. We learned children are only allowed 6 sugar cubes each day but there is lots of ‘hidden’ sugar in items we thought were healthy like yoghurts and breakfast cereals. We know we can make smart swaps to ensure we are keeping our bodies healthy.
