In Week 7 we had a visit from the Community Health team based at Starship Hospital: Sione, Hannah, Gina, Brayden and Lynette.
They shared with us about how healthy food helps our bodies to be ready to learn at school. We revisited some of our class learning about nutrients in different foods, drinking water, why fruit and vegetables are good for us, and why sleep and exercise are important as well.
Lynette sang us a song that connected our learning about Matariki to the different foods that can be gathered and shared.
They also brought us a healthy lunch! We could choose different healthy (and tasty) foods to make our own filled roll or wrap. Some of us had special choices because of food allergies, but there was still lots to pick!
We could choose from chicken, tuna, cheese, carrot, cucumber, tomato, spinach, hummus, mayonnaise, pineapple, and apples!
Everyone found something they liked.
Thank you to the team, and sponsors who provided our lunch: 5+ A Day, New World, Countdown, and AP Civil. It was so yummy! We have been busy writing thank you letters to send them all.
What options would you have chosen for your healthy lunch, if you had been with us?
