25.01.2010

Great trip today! I hope everyone goes home and talks to their parents or someone else about what we did and what we learnt about nutrition. REMEMBER to eat healthy snacks and that the top of the pyramid should be about two times a week in small portions (chips, chocolate, burgers, sweets...all of the bad stuff).
Send me a comment and tell me if you remember what the following do for your body:
1. bread, pasta, rice and cereal?
2. fruit and vegetables?
3. milk, yoghurt, meat and fish?

Try out the 2 new literacy links!!!

Brush those teeth, eat healthily and have a good sleep.
