GRi11 2.0 Girls Visit Harold

On the 29th of February the girls in Grill 2.0 had a visit to Harold and Tim in the Life Ed truck.

We learned about how our body uses the food we eat and turns it into energy. Some food gives us more energy than others, so it is important to eat the most of fruit and vegetables and breads, cereals, pasta and rice. Treats are only sometimes foods because they are made out of mostly sugar, salt and fat which are bad for your body if we have too much.

Did you know that your small intestine is about 5 to 6 metres long? It has a very important job to do. It has small holes (villi) that let the broken down food into your blood stream to give you energy.

This links to our Term 1 unit about Hauora - especially our physical well being.

It was a really cool experience - we can't wait for the next session!

Thanks for reading,
From the Girls of Grill 2.0
