As part of our Farming topic, Primary 5 pupils have been diving deep into the Eatwell Guide, exploring exactly where our food comes from and discovering its true nutritional value.
Today, the classroom turned into a science lab as the children examined various food wrappers. Becoming ultimate food detectives, they carefully filled out nutrition tables - tracking everything from protein and carbohydrates to hidden sugars, fats, and fiber.
Using their data, the pupils wrote sentences about their findings, for example:
Some of the high sugar and fat contents left the children genuinely shocked. We hope these new skills will help them to make healthy, informed choices about their daily diets.
