Fruit and Vegetables

We revised the food that would appeared at the most bottom of the food pyramid. Then, we moved on to the next level in the food pyramid - fruits and vegetables.

I brought in a poster which labels those commons fruits and vegetables that the children know. We read through it and I pasted it on the noticeboard for the children to refer. We also briefly read through some details and facts about vitamins that fruits and vegetables could give us.

Book Sharing - How to feed a Hungry Giant

This interesting munch-and-sip pop-up book is by Caitlin Friedman and illustrated by Shaw Nielsen. The children were attracted to the food that appeared in the story as they could name some of the food such as pizza, cookies, grapes etc.

After the story, we had some short discussion about activities that we could carry out for each part of the food pyramid. We started off by having brainstorming for food that contains carbohydrates. The children suggested popcorn, doughnut, bread and spaghetti. We won't be able to carry out all of it, therefore, I get the children to decide which 2 activities that we could do here. I divided the 4 food into 2 group - easy (popcorn & spaghetti) and difficult (bread & doughnut). The children could only choose one from each group. Finally, they decided to do popcorn and doughnut.

We shall try to arrange these 2 activities for next week.
