WALHT identify important foods for a balanced and healthy diet.




Following on from Harolds visit, we then looked closely at the food pyramid. Each table group set about making their own food pyramid using pictures from magazines to show where they think each food is placed. From this it is clear that food is made up of ingredients from 3 different sources. Can you remember the three places food comes from?

Graphs made with Excel


We have been learning how to create simple bar and column graphs using the Excel programme.
Some clever kids emailed their graphs to Miss Shaw so she could show you what they can do.
What do you think?

What's In Our Food?


After visting Harold in the caravan we spent some time analysing the contents of some foods we eat at school.
There were 3 main ingredients that we were looking for: Sugar, fat, and soduim.
Here are our charts to show what we found.
