Supermarket

The Supermarket food for thought!🤔

Hey Bloggers! On the 23rd of October we went to the supermarket - New World. Before we went we had two sessions with Isabelle. Isabelle is from the company 'Food for Thought' and she came to teach us about healthy foods. The first session we had with her we talked about the different parts in 
the food pyramid. After we talked about it we got in groups of 4 and had to label all the different foods in the right section of the pyramid. Isabelle came and checked it then we had to pack it away and be ready for the quiz at the end. I learnt so much about the different types of foods.

The second session we had it was about the 'sometimes' drinks that we have and that we shouldn't have. We had to get into groups of 3 to 6 and Isabelle gave us a little bag full of photos. The photos were of different drinks that people drink all the time. We had to put them in order of healthiest to the least healthiest. After this was done Isabelle checked it and most of my group's were right. Once we had put them away we sat on the mat and Isabelle put the drinks in order. When she put it in order she told us how much sugar there was in each bottle. The highest was around 32 teaspoons of sugar and the maximum for kids is 5 teaspoons per day.

Then the next week we went to New World. When we went we were put in groups and given a piece of paper. On the paper were the things we had to look for in the shop like Milk/Dairy products, Breads, Cereals, muesli bars, and snacks. In each row we had to find the healthiest choice and the unhealthiest choice and fill in the nutritional values for each of them. We went around in our groups finding different things. At the end we flipped it around and had to write down all the vegetables and fruits we saw. Then when it was time to leave Isabelle gave us a $60 Voucher for New World and we all got lunch boxes.,

Beach Clean up!!

Our Sandy day at the beach!

On Friday the 27th of September we went to Waikowhai Bay to clean it up. We went to the beach the same day as the big climate change march. We couldn't go to the climate march so we wanted to do something instead. We decided to clean up our local beach or bay. We didn't go because we went the last time at and it was less crowed but that one had 1000's of people. Before we left we got to get our climate change signs we made for the last climate change march.
We stopped outside of school and chanted a chant which is "Hey Hey Ho Ho climate change has got to go" Heaps of people beeped at us and waved. 

We walked down to the beach and got into groups of five, six or seven and then we were given gloves and a parents to go with. Miss Najack took our signs and put them in her car before we left to clean. My group was Cassie, Ayva, Hepi, Maryam, Mosese, Aahana, me and our Parent was Cassie's Mum. We found heaps of things there like Clothes, Plastic bottles, fishing nets, metal nets and we even found a pare of Hand cuffs. We found heaps more but we couldn't pick up everything. We had to go back but before we went back we took photos. Once we were done we had to go and give the rubbish to the teachers and then leave. We walked back to school and got back at 2:00pm. It was so fun my favourite part was climbing up the ledges of the beach and picking up the rubbish that was up there. The only challenging thing was walking back because we had to go up the big hills. When we did get back to school we played and had a ice block. Then the bell rang for the end of the term but before we all left we sang happy birthday to Mrs Jones because it was her birthday the next day. I got her a big block of chocolate and a card. Other people got her cards to.
