Super Sandwich!

Today, we revised food types - healthy, unhealthy - and what kinds of nutrients are inside of different types of foods. Then we talked about the importance of a balanced diet.

We linked this topic to superheroes and decided that perhaps superheroes are strong because they eat all their nutrients. Then we made a healthy super sandwich that contained all the nutrients.

 Harry volunteered to show us his muscles because he eats all his food at lunch time - so he gets all the nutrients that his body needs.

 Mungkorn made a smiley face with his vegetables :)

 The real test was waiting to see if the kids would eat their healthy sandwich. I was quite impressed that most students tried it at least.

Ploen even commented "I don't like tomato and salad but maybe I need to try.... because I need all the nutrients" "If you only eat rice alone you will only eat carbohydrates"

This was a valid point to make and it helped her friends understand why they have a range of food choices at lunch time.

Perhaps if you are having trouble getting the kids to eat nutritious food at home, you can show them these pictures and remind them of what we learnt in school. Good luck :)
