Supermarket Trip And Food For Thought
On the 23rd of October, The senior syndicate of Waikowhai Primary School went to the supermarket (New World) . Before the trip, we had a visitor from the Heart Kids Foundation and food For thought. The visitor's name was Isabel. She came into one of our classes, and taught us about how much of each food we should have, and how much sugar is in things. In one of our sessions, we got cards that had a drink on it. We had to arrange them to the least sugariest to the sugariest. The sugariest thing was actually a lime fizzy drink, and it had 33 teaspoons of sugar! To investigate further, we got permission to go to New World and look at what was an everyday food choice and what was a "sometimes" food.
When we arrived at the supermarket we got given papers. We filled in good and bad choices for muesli bars, breakfast, bread and dairy. Did you know that the cereal Cocoa Puffs has around 15 grams of sugar while Weet-Bix has around 1.2 grams?
After we filled in the sections, we turned the paper over and filled in veggies in their colour sections. The colours were red, orange, yellow, green, purple, brown and white.
I learnt so much in our sessions and in the trip itself. I think we should learn about this subject a bit more, because it is really interesting.

Excellent recount of the sessions Ama, especially the Supermarket session. The teachers also learnt new things and thought all the lessons were well done and interesting. I have uploaded photos to the gallery of our class that you can add to your post if you want.
