The Food Pyramid

Our inquiry this term is ‘Healthy Eating - Food for Energy’

This week we are learning to understand what the food pyramid is.

During our visit to the Life Education Truck we met Harold the Giraffe and  learned that there are 3 main food groups in the pyramid.

Some foods at the top are made of sugar or fat and are treats or “sometimes” foods.

A bigger group are animal products and help us grow.

The biggest group at the base of the pyramid

are foods from plants that help us grow and give us lots of energy. We should eat the most from this group.
Together the 3 groups make up a balanced diet.

In the classroom we are taking turns at placing foods appropriately in a food pyramid, naming major food groups and describing how and why these food groups give us energy.

            

Solar Eclipse of the Sun.

Yesterday there was great excitment as we went outside to view a solar eclipse of the sun.
We learned that the word eclipse means move in front of, and the moon was moving across the sky, in front the sun. 

Stan Swan made a viewer  for us with a camera and a  tripod a dentist's mirror partly covered in tin foil. He projected the image of the eclipse on a classroom wall.

We were all able to watch the eclipse with special solar glasses.We know that looking at the sun without solar glasses can damage your eyes!!!!!

Back in the classroom Mr Swan helped us model the eclipse with an apple,an orange and a lemon as the moon,the sun and the earth.
