The children are quite involved in our new unit 'My Body is My Responsibility'. They were very excited about taking home a meal chart to keep track of their meals from Breakfast to Dinner. We will discuss their charts when they are returned on Monday.
This week we investigated the food groups. We searched through magazines for different types of food; healthy and unhealthy foods and drinks. We sorted plastic food samples by shape, color and in pairs drew the five groups. We read fiction and non-fiction books and discussed the affects of unhealthy foods on our bodies. Next week, we will take a look at exercise and its' effect on our bodies! We have a variety of planned activities which the children will enjoy!
