Recently in P6B, we have been learning how to maintain a balanced, healthy diet. We have used the Eatwell Plate and the Food Pyramid to help us learn about different food groups and how much we should be eating of each type daily.

We enjoyed creating our own meals using the plate and pyramid as a guide. We also explored our own diet by identifying what and how much we eat of each food type.

Luca – ‘I’ve learned that you should have 1 portion of protein as part of a meal and that carbohydrates give you energy’.

Fiona – I enjoyed learning about the importance of food, I know that you should have a least 5 portions of fruit and vegetable every day’.

Skye – I didn’t know before that pasta is a carbohydrate – I thought it was a dairy food! I really enjoyed sorting the foods out by type’.

Jack – I used to think we should eat lots of dairy but now I know that ideally we should have just 3-4 portions each day’.

Hopefully our new knowledge will allow us to make healthy, responsible choices about food and help us to maintain a healthy diet.
