Year 3 - Science: balanced diets

Date: 5th May 2022 @ 6:46pm

Our Science topic this term is 'Humans and Animals'. We have been looking to answer the questions:

What is a balanced diet, and why is it important?

What are the different food groups, and what do they do for our bodies?

We started by sorting different foods into those that we thought we should eat regularly and those we should only eat occasionally. This was followed by an investigation into how to read ingredients lists and nutritional information on food packaging. Some pupils have already shared that they have begun to make positive changes towards a more balanced diet as a result of our interesting discussions and learning points. Keep it up year 3!
