Our topic for the first few weeks back has been about food and nutrition. We revisited our knowledge of food groups and began to look at seven different nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, protein, minerals, vitamins, water and fibre). We explored what each set of nutrients did and thought about different age groups that they would be suitable for.
We knew that people’s dietary needs could be based on any allergies/intolerances they might have, their religious beliefs or preferences. Miss McLaughlin gave us a challenge on Friday – to design a meal which would be suitable for a vegetarian. We had to think carefully about what they would/wouldn’t eat (however, we couldn’t make a decision about fish) while also considering the types of nutrients they would need. The winning meal will be decided by Miss McLaughlin and we will make it next week to round off our topic. Below, are the three finalists!
Miss McLaughlin was extremely proud of everyone’s work – this is not an easy thing to think about! Be sure to pop in for a ‘taste test’ on Tuesday.
Until then…
Primary 4 & Miss M 🙂
