News from the 3/4 Team...

As part of the Team 3/4 ‘Get Active!’ inquiry unit for this term, we have been exploring the benefits of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Over the past few weeks, we have been learning about the importance of eating a balanced diet and the positive effects this can have on physical and mental health. Students have been introduced to the different food groups and have learnt about and identified different foods within each food group. Information on the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating can be found here. 

Using this information, they created their own healthy lunchbox. Students were asked to think carefully about which foods they would include in their lunchbox to reflect a balanced and healthy day of eating. 

Here are some of the ‘lunchboxes’ they created! Don’t they look delicious?

To further promote and reinforce the importance of eating a balanced healthy diet, on Monday 20th March we celebrated our own ‘Healthy Lunchbox Day’. The Team 3/4 students, with assistance from their families, were encouraged to carefully consider the foods they were packing for the day. There were lots of yummy healthy lunchboxes to be seen!
