Our trip to the Life Education truck

Last week we visited Harold and Teresa in the Life Education truck. It was great fun in there - there are no windows in this classroom but there are cool lights, like stars, in the ceiling!! We started off with some exercise, here we are having a bit of a dance.
We were learning about being healthy and foods. Teresa had a big container of foods and we chose two items from it. Here we are trying to name the foods we chose.


"Wow, look at what I got", said Sam. "These look good and healthy for my lunch", said Addy.
"Yum, these look like yummy foods", said Ben and Connor. 

After we had all named our foods, Teresa taught us about the 'Food Pyramid'. We learnt about foods we should 'eat most', foods we should 'eat some' of and foods we should 'eat a little' of. We then put our foods on to the food pyramid mat.
"I think this food goes in that part of the food pyramid", said Zack. "Where do you think these grapes should go, Joshua", said Reece.
Here's our completed food pyramid, with all our foods in the correct part of the Food Pyramid.
It was great to see Harold's movie about going on a picnic and we were really pleased that we were able to help you get some more food for your picnic, after that naughty possum got into the food you had packed.
Thank you for visiting us Harold and Teresa. We can't wait to visit you again next year.
