This week in 4 Red, we focused on the theme of Science! This meant that there were many experiments and active learning that took place this week for the children.
The children were given a question at the beginning of this week, which they had to answer by the end of the week. The question was: ‘Which breakfast is best?’
We learned about the importance of having a healthy, balanced diet in order for our bodies to function at their fullest capability and be energised for the day. Breakfast being the first meal of the day, meant that this is where all children will be getting their energy for their day ahead. So, we looked closely at how we can make breakfast fun and healthy for everyone by making sure that the 7 food groups have been included into our breakfasts in different ways.
As well as eating, we also explored how exercise plays a vital part in being healthy, but also burning off all the energy that we consume from our breakfast and other meals. The children took part in physical activities and watched videos about Olympic athletes, who are able to maintain a balanced diet, but also exercise to burn the energy from their food. This helped the children understand more about the importance of keeping your body healthy as a whole.
Please watch the video below to see what else the children took part in. Enjoy! :)
