For the last time, Year 5 were joined by our visitors from the University of Leeds. In this lesson the children looked at the different food groups. They also learnt:
- the benefits of different food groups
- the importance of a balanced diet
- why diet is so important for our bodies
The children took part in an experiment to see how too much salt can affect our body. Year 5 placed pieces of potato in water and salty water. They will be watching over the next couple of days to see the results.
We then ventured outside to play a food group game. An adult shouted a food out and the children had to run to which food group they think it was. They all did amazingly in this game.
Help at home: Name the 5 food groups and give examples of different foods that fit into them.
