To start the topic we did the food pyramid together so that we learn the different food groups in the pyramid and remember that we should eat very few junk food.
the food pyramid we did together
During the first week we learned about fruit and the importance of eating a lot of fruit. We learned the names of the fruit both in Maltese & English. Below are the activities we did about fruit. Apart from these activities we also did a fruit salad where we tried a lot of different fruit which we have never tasted, like for example mango and pineapple.

During the fourth week we learned about the importance of drinking milk and why it is so important to drink it white with no colourings or sugar added. We learned that milk comes from cows. We also learned about icing sugar and food colouring which are not so healthy to eat and that we should have small amounts of them including sweets and junk food. We also mentioned the importance of including chicken, meat & fish in our diet. We also mentioned breakfast cereals and the importance of them being without a lot of sugar. Infact we made Rice Krispies with chocolate and tasted them without the chocolate first so we'll see that they are still very tasty. Then we concluded the topic with a food groups mobile. Below are the activities we did during this week.
