What foods are good for you?

Our learning focus has been on ‘what foods are good
for us?’. Our book of the week was “Oliver’s
Vegetables”.  The children have learnt about the
different ways we can keep healthy such as eating  a balanced diet, exercising and getting a good nights sleep. We learnt from the story "Oliver's Vegetables" that it is good to try food that we have not tried before as we may actually like it!

We have tried a variety of different fruits at snack time.
On Monday, we tried pineapple. This got a big thumbs up from the majority of Team EO.

On Tuesday, we tried lemons and strawberries! Team EO said that the lemon was sour but the strawberries were sweet. 

On Wednesday, we tried kiwi, grapefruit and raspberries. The kiwi got a mixed reaction and we weren't very keen on the grapefruit but we enjoyed the raspberries.

Today, we ate  a piece of watermelon, a blueberry and half a red grape and half a green grape each. We love the watermelon and grapes but not so much the blueberries!

We then had a think about which fruit out of all the ones we had tried this week was our favourite. We each voted for our favourite fruit and Miss Overton recorded this as a tally chart. Team EO's favourite fruit was watermelon and we know this because it had 11 votes. The least favourite fruit was the blueberries with 0 votes!

This afternoon we made our own fruit salads using the fruits we had tried this week as well as oranges, apples and bananas! We said they were delicious! We have thoroughly enjoyed trying a variety of new fruits and learning how we can keep ourselves healthy!
