Today, Class 11 have been looking into food and their nutritional value. We looked at what the Eatwell food chart to show what is needed for a balanced diet and why. After this, we then looked at how the different nutrients, such as carbohydrates and fibre, help our body.

We then worked really well and collaboratively with the iPads, looking into the red label of a McDonald’s food order. Unfortunately, we couldn’t order them and that was lucky for us, as the amount of salts and sugars surprised some of us.

Here is a sneak peak into the work the classroom during our work.

P.S. – we apologise in advance for any conversations around the food labels, as I know some of us were already checking at lunch!

Class 11 have been learning all about food chains and that it shows how energy passes through different creatures, beginning with consumers all the way to the main predator. Class 11 showed great knowledge and came up with some fantastic food chains of their own, labelling the variety of creatures, their role and explaining how energy passes through these animals.

Here is Layla’s fantastic home learning. Layla has produced a superb habitat and food chain model, which included a variety of animals. Here she is showing off her work to the rest of Class 11!

Today, Class 11 have been creating their own anchor charts to help them understand how seeds are dispersed, the variety of ways this happens and why this happens. We worked well collaboratively so that we could really get smart in this part of our Expedition!
