Science Week 15

Science Week 15

This week we are focusing on healthy eating. A few weeks ago we did some other Science learning about healthy eating. We are going to re-visit this learning as it is really important.

In Year 2, we need to be able to answer the following questions.

How do animals grow differently?

What do animals need to survive?

Why is it important that humans exercise?

Why is it important that humans eat the right amounts of food?

We also need to be able to understand and use the following vocabulary…

6^th July 2020 Activities

 Lesson 1

What is a healthy diet for humans?

All animals need different types of food. To have a healthy balanced diet, humans need a range of food types.

Task 

Can you design a healthy balanced meal based on the lots, some or only a little idea?

Think about what you should have lots of on your plate and what might just be a treat!

Lesson 2 

Thinking carefully about our diets.

We call the things we eat our ‘diet’.

Looking at our diet can tell us if we are already eating healthily, or if we could improve our eating habits.

Task

Can you use the format below to evaluate your diet? 

Thinking about the good things that you eat and about what you would like to improve.

For example Miss James might say..

Three good things – I like to eat fruit. I get protein from chicken and fish. I like to eat salad vegetables.

Three things that would make my diet better – Drinking more water. Getting more calcium from yogurt as I don’t drink milk. To drink less fizzy pop.

Remember we love to see all your learning!
