Tamariki Kereru: April 2009

Thursday, April 30, 2009

We are learning about nutrition. The class made labels showing healthy and nonhealthy food we have eaten this week. Then we made a list from most healthy to unhealthy food.
Next we used these foods and grouped them like pork I put with water, there was fruit and some food we couldn't put in a group. As a class we narrowed our groups down until we came up with 6 main groups. We chose a group and wrote what we knew about them. The groups are fat, protein, dairy, breakfast cereals, fruit, vegetables. I knew somethings but not everything so we will research to find out more.

Y Charts

WALT: use a Y chart to plan our writing.

On a Y chart we have 3 things

feels like

sounds like

looks like

To give us inspiration we played Twister. While people were tangled up like sausages we filled in our Y Charts then we swapped over so we all had a go playing. Elizabeth made a great point saying that after you had had a go you came up with more ideas to put on your y chart.

What is this animal?

Alisha and Luca need your help! Can anyone help them identify this strange and mysterious creature? They live in 'sleeping bags' but do come out when we tap the container but they quickly go back in and hide.

lunch box

Today we drew the food in our lunchboxes. We did this because we are learning about food and nutrition. In a month we are going to check and see if we've changed our lunchboxes to healthy food.

Stay healthy from the Mighty magnificient Middle Roomers!
