How does advertising and the media affect my food choices?
Try out these activities about food adverts and discuss what you find:
- Look out for adverts for the same type of product (e.g. breakfast cereals) and discuss which one would make you want to try the product and why.
- Compare different products that have a healthy image and investigate how healthy they really are.
- Find a food advert that you really like.
Why do you like it? - At home, watch TV during the adverts in the evening. Which food products are being advertised? Which are healthy and unhealthy? Describe the best advert you see.
Create an advert which promotes a healthy food product.
It can be a poster or a recording.
It must include the health and nutrition benefits of the food
It must including tempting words and phrases that will make people want to buy the product.
Cooking and eating together
If you get the chance, help to cook a healthy, nutritional meal at home. Write about the meal and its nutritional value. Remember the benefits of eating together and try to sit and eat with people you love this week as much as possible.
Healthy Mind
Make a Calm jar!
By focusing our thoughts, we can help settle our mind. This is particularly important when we are facing strong and difficult emotions such as stress, anxiety, anger and worry.
Shake the calm jar up and then watch it settle. This will help settle your mind.
Healthy body
Here are some physical challenges to try this week to keep yourself healthy
- Running
- Get the strava app or “map my run” and try and run 1km or 1mile. Try it again later in the week and see if you can beat your time.
- Circuits class
- Go for a walk with someone from home
- The weather is going to be great this week and weekend – why don’t you go for a big walk and track how far you walked using strava or map my run. See if there is a local hill you can go up or try a munro!
AS USUAL WITH ALL HOMEWORK – TAKE SOME PHOTOS OR SCREENSHOTS OF YOUR WORK AND EMAIL THEM TO THE CLASS EMAIL
