Life Education

We have had two sessions in the Life Education van and our learning focus was "Eating for Health". 

We looked into healthy and unhealthy food options. This linked to our inquiry unit of Powerful Plants because we focussed on the nutrition we can get from fruit and vegetables. Lynn discussed these three key questions with us:

• Why do we need to eat different kinds of foods to stay healthy and give us energy?

• How do our bodies get energy from the food we eat?

• Why is physical activity good for our bodies?

We even got to meet Harold!!

How do you tie a shoelace?

In writing, we have been learning how to write a procedural text to give instructions. Last week, we were asked to write instructions on how to tie a shoelace. We worked in a group to try figure out the best way we could explain to someone who didn't know how to do this. The steps needed to be in chronological order and we had to use bossy (imperative) verbs in our instructions.

After studying the great artist Pablo Picasso, we created our own amazing self-portraits inspired by his abstract work. This is some of our art that is on display in the main corridor...
