This week in school we have been having a focus on healthy eating, so today in Team EO as part of our PSHE learning we learnt about being healthy and healthy eating. We started by considering how we could keep ourselves healthy – the children came up with lots of wonderful ideas linked to healthy eating. We then learnt that there are 4 main ways that we can keep our bodies healthy; regular exercise, healthy eating, having a positive attitude and a good sleep schedule. We will learn more about why these are important for us later in the year. The children were asked if they knew how many portions of fruit and vegetables they should eat in a day. We had some guesses such as 3 and 4 but learnt that it is 5 portions. We learnt that a portion of fruit or vegetables is the same size of the palm of your hand. Children were then asked how we many portions of fruit and veg they had eaten today. Lots of children showed 2 – their fruit at snack time and the vegetable that came with their dinner. Next we learnt that as part of a healthy balanced diet, as well as fruit and veg, we should try and eat meat and fish and eggs, milk and cheese daily. Next we discussed ‘unhealthy food’ and how we should eat these only in smaller quantities as they are not good for our bodies.
As part of our oracy learning, we held a circle time to discuss what our favourite healthy food is. We tried extremely hard to use the stem sentence “My favourite healthy food is…”. We had wonderful answers such as banana’s, grapes, watermelon, cucumber and carrots to name a few. Finally we finished our learning by trying a new fruit that we had learned about in our ‘Hello Autumn’ book – blackberries. Some of us liked them and some of us didn’t we said they were ‘sour’ and ‘juicy’.
