The children in Reception have been learning this week all about healthy choices and what a balanced diet consists of. They have been learning some tricky vocabulary such has carbohydrate and protein to describe the food groups. During circle time the children were able to select a piece of healthy food that they should eat all the time and an unhealthy piece of food, that they must only have a little of and put them into the right sections.
They moved on to an independent task of packing a healthy and unhealthy lunch box. Cutting the images of food out by themselves they were then able to place it in the right lunch box and stick it down. The conversation has continued through out the week with them even thinking about healthy and unhealthy activities, such as exercise as a good choice and staying up too late and too much screen time as a bad choice. Its clear from this weeks learning that the children in Reception are able to make the right choices for healthy living!
