Food for Thought

Last week the seniors participated in the healthy eating programme, ‘Food for Thought.’

We had a nutritionist, Nova, come in and teach us about the food pyrimad and we looked at the labels on food and learnt how to read them.

On Wednesday we visited the supermarket and completed a range of activities based around different food groups and the healthiness of them.  

It was great fun and we learnt how to make healthier options with our eating.

Little bits of vanilla ice-cream can be good.



This group is finding what bread is healthy everyday bread and what is occasional bread.



Mmmmm, yummy snacks, but are they healthy?



In this photo this group is trying to read the labels of fizzy drinks to see how healthy they drink are.

 


Zoe, Ruby, Te Ahu and Nick are looking at the drinks sections finding what's healthy and what's not!



This group is looking in the dairy section to find out what is the healthiest product and what is the least healthiest.



They got thirsty while studying the milk. Nanoka is looking to see which is the healthiest milk.



They were licking their lips while studying the food. Unfortunatley they discovered it is unhealthy and in the eat least group.



At the supermarket we had to find at least 5 fruit and 5 vegetables in each colour section. The colours were Red, Yellow/Orange, Brown/White, Green, and Blue/Purple.
