I have a Food Pyramid

We have got some extra leftover supermarkets’ leaflets from the previous class which was also doing the same food theme. Looking at the food pyramid chart we have, unfortunately, it was not in English. Therefore, today, I prepared the shape of the food pyramid and guided the children to make one of our own food pyramid.

Before the children started with the work, they were divided into four groups with about 4-5 children in a group. Then each group leader came out to pick a draw. These were the categories for the children to work on – carbohydrates, vitamins & minerals (fruits & vegetables), proteins & calcium and fats, sugar & salt. Each group was given the portion of the food pyramid accordingly to start with.

Once they were brief of the type of food they should look for, the children started to scan and cut the supermarket leaflets. Some of the groups were quite clear of what to look for while some needed some guidance.
