Week 4

Healthy Kai

This week we have focussed on healthy kai

We discussed the food pyramid and how many servings of each food type we need to have daily.

We now know our plates have to look like a rainbow.

We completed an art activity to see what we need to have on our plates at dinner time.

A Rainbow!

Week 3

What an exciting week!

On Wednesday we all travelled to the town pools 

where all of us competed in the

A big pat on the back to everyone.

We also had the opportunity to visit the

UCOL Cooking School

where Damien Peeti cooked us a delicious chicken breast accompanied with a 

side dish of rice and vegetables.

YUM!

As soon as I get the recipe I will load it on to the class blog!

He was also very informative about what fruit and vegetables we should eat and how they help keep our body healthy.

We have written questions related the 

healthy kai topic.  Some of the children's 

questions were also answered.

A very informative morning.

The kids loved the large mirror which let us see what was in the pots.

Anxiously waiting .....

The end product.

This week we have been busy doing some creative pieces of art!

We have used this today using an ipad app that turns our 2D drawing in to a 3D image.
