We have been thinking and learning about healthy eating in 1L and especially about healthy "Traffic Light" lunches that include the three important food groups ; Protein (red), carbohydrates (yellow) and vitamins ( green). The children are now able to choose a very healthy balanced lunch and identify the food groups they are eating.
We have leaned about the benefits of eating lots of fruit and decided to make a healthy fruit salad to eat in class. We learned lots of new vocabulary linked to instructions for making fruit salad and used " bossy verbs " for our instructions .
The children really enjoyed all the peeling c, chopping grating , halving and mixing of the fruit. We ate the fruit salad and then wrote out own instructions for making it.
Finally we made some wonderful observational drawings of colourful tropical fruit in pastels.
Finally we halved lots of fresh fruit and made some wonderful observational drawings of tropical fruit.
