Annabelle – This week we have learning about the Eat Well Plate. There are five different sections.
Caitlin – The Eat Well Plate is split in to Carbohydrates, Fruit and Vegetables, Dairy, Protein and Fats and Oils.
Cameron – Most of our diet should be vegetables and fruit and carbohydrates with some protein and dairy and a little fat and oil.
Evie – Sugary and high fat foods should be eaten as a little treat. If you eat too much you will rot your teeth and put on weight. Examples are chocolate, doughnuts, fizzy juice and sweeties.
Kayleigh – If you don’t eat enough carbohydrates you wouldn’t have a lot of energy or strength. Carbohydrates are cereal, pasta and bread.
Demi Leigh – Protein is good for your muscles and if you don’t eat it you would be weak. You get protein by eating fish, meat, eggs and nuts and beans.
Leia – You need dairy in your diet to grow healthy bones and teeth. If you didn’t eat dairy you wouldn’t grow and might get rickets. Examples of dairy are yoghurts, milk and cheese.
Lotte – We learned about the Eat Well Plate by looking at the smart board and listening to the teacher.
Robyn – Then we worked with our talking partner to design and make a poster telling others about eating a balanced diet.
