Middle Team Food Experiment (Alana)

We made a pyramid on our floor and all the middle team filled it with food in the three areas of the food pyramid.

1. Eat lots
2. Eat some
3. Eat less

We had lots of wonderings about where each food should go and applied some of the new knowledge that Mrs Joblin had shared with us.
Lucas said he wondered how such a small packet of peanuts could have so much sugar and salt in them.

Big Question: How Do your food choices impact on your body and health?

WAL about our first deep understanding which is:

How do food choices help our bodies to develop and grow in a healthy way?
