Super Market Trip/ Food for Thought

Aloha bloggers, this term we've been learning about our foods with this lady named Isabelle. She came in to teach us for an hour. For the first lesson she showed us a food pyramid, teaching us what foods go in each column. The second session was about knowing what the nutritional information was. We also had to do a challenge where we had to put the drinks in order. We had to put it in order of the least amount of sugar to the most.  It was surprising when we got the answers. Fizzy drinks have a lot of  sugar, I mean a lot. As a fact, if a drink has a label that says no added sugar, it doesn't mean it has no sugar. They just put things in the drink that have sugar in it.

These lessons led up to a supermarket trip. We had a supermarket trip at New World. We went there to look at the nutritional information on the packages. We looked in each isle and had to write down the foods we looked at. At the very end we had to write down as many veges and fruits we can think of. After that, some parents came to help out with the transport. When we got back to school we came back with green lunchboxes. Isabelle gave everyone a lunchbox for free. The supermarket and the sessions were fun and I wish I could do it again. Take a look at these photos before you leave. Bye!

Beach Clean

Fakalofa lahi atu bloggers. In term 3, the senior block went down to Waikowhai Bay to do a beach clean. We bought signs on the walk too. Once we got the beach we got into a group then, we got a part to clean up at the beach. We found all sorts of things like: glass, cans, cigars, bottle caps, fish bait. We even found little crabs under the rocks. We put all the rubbish in a big plastic bag. We all wore gloves so our hands won't get dirty and stink. The other thing we wore were orange beanies. They were so bright and stood out a lot. 

We did this beach clean as part of trying to stop climate change. We also did it because we couldn't come to the climate change march. In my group, there were 7 people in it, including me. We had some parents there to help out with the beach clean. We put all our signs in the car when we came to the beach because we couldn't hold them while picking up rubbish. After that we had to walk back to school. Even on our way back we found cans and bottles. The thing that I didn't like about it was that some of them still had stuff in it so we tipped it out. Check out the photos below. Bye!
