In Science this term we have been learning about making healthier choices when eating. We have learned about the Eatwell Plate and the nutritional value we can get from the different food groups that we include in our daily diet.
We have carried out investigations to find the nutritional value of the foods we eat and investigated food labels. We learned how a Traffic Light system has been introduced to food packaging which gives us key information about the sugars, fats, salts and the energy our food provides. We have also explored the advice provided by the NHS about making healthier choices and used the FOOD SCANNER App (Free App) to check the sugar contents in different foods. We found it interesting to compare foods and were surprised by some of the hidden contents in the different foods we eat.
Please download the FOOD SCANNER App to help your child continue learning about the nutritional value of the foods they eat and have a look at the NHS website for further information.
