Supermarket Visit

Our focus for this term has been the study of food and what we need to be eating to be and remain healthy.
As part of our unit, as a class, we had a nutritionist come in and run some sessions. Nova, the nutritionist, was able to share some information with us about the types of foods we should be eating, how much of this food we should be eating, and she taught us how to read labels.
We were able to go along to the Feilding New World and find certain products in the supermarket. On each product we recorded and identified the fat, fibre, and sugar amounts in each. It was interesting not only for the children, but for the adults involved also, as it allowed us to become more aware of the amount of fat and sugars in many of our ‘everyday’ foods.
I would like to say a big thank you to the parents who came with us on this trip, as your help was much appreciated. I am sure you got a lot out of it (maybe even as much as the children J ).
