A Dietician comes to school

Mrs Pennington, a Dietician and parent at our school,kindly agreed to talk to the Junior classes about 'Healthy Eating' and the range of food we should be eating to stay well.

She talked about eating 5+ fruit and vegetables a day.Last week we tried eating lots of different chopped up raw fruit and vegetables-they were delicious!

Mrs Pennington also told us that our body is like a car-it needs fuel to keep it going!

Breakfast is probably the most important meal of the day as it helps to keep our bodies working during the day.

Mrs Pennington had to study at university and take some science subjects to learn to be a dietician.

Tracking tunnels

This week we set up our home-made tracking tunnels in Ngahere Reserve.
We put peanut butter out to lure in any pests that might be in the reserve.

Can you see the fresh tracks?

What do you think has been walking through this tracking tunnel?

Planting seeds in recycled cans

Room 3 children each planted a couple of dwarf bean seeds this week.

Although the weather has been cold we hope with sun and water they will grow on our windowsill. Mrs King had lots of old cans to recycle for our planting.
