I am in school today, so please note I may not be able to respond quickly to emails.

Year 4/Year 3/Table 2

Focus Theme: Be Healthy and Happy! This week we will look at the types of foods we need to eat to stay healthy through listening to songs and reading information, designing a menu and even creating our own active shake up activity!

• Watch and enjoy this song: Keeping Healthy song at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN1Bc1oFO68  
• Discuss what you have learned after watching and enjoying the song.
• Now look at this website: NHS – Eat Well Guide at https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/the-eatwell-guide/ - adult support may be needed to read, navigate and discuss the content of this website.
• After this, create, draw and label your own Eat Well plate. Organise your plate into sections for: carbohydrates, protein, dairy foods, fruit and vegetables.
• You could present this by drawing on a paper plate or making your own plate out of paper/cardboard.
• Display it in your kitchen for everyone in your family to see.
• Next time you eat your dinner, can you identify all the foods on your plate and to which food group they each belong?
