As part of our topic work, we have been learning about the Eatwell Plate and what our bodies need for a healthy diet. We talked about the fact that our bodies need a range of foods to be healthy and that foods high in sugar/fat should be eaten less frequently/as a treat.
Our lesson today began with the statement ‘Junk food should be banned for children. Discuss’ The children held a class discussion and shared their ideas respectfully with each other. They came up with an array of discussion points for both sides of the argument including the need for a healthy diet, associated health implications, personal choice and tastes!
