MY IDEAL BREAKFAST

Research has found that schoolchildren who eat breakfast are twice as likely to perform above average at school than those who do not. We have noticed that it is really important to have a healthy breakfast every day and 3rd Year Primary pupils have prepared delicious meals to be shown in the class.

Most of them have chosen fruit, cupcakes and cereal or toast with jam, others have had snacks like nuts or muesli. To drink, they have preferred milk with cocoa and orange juice. Some pupils confessed that they hadn’t had a healthy breakfast during “Fallas” since they ate churros with chocolate.

We have learnt that breakfast foods are good sources of important nutrients such as calcium, iron and  B vitamins as well as protein and fibre.

We give you some advice: enjoy your breakfast but be careful with the calories!

We are hungry!

As we are doing food in English at the moment, we are having fun doing various role plays. Before starting, the teacher models a story, ordering food from a student, and making a fuss over a dirty fork or a cold soup. Then, a group of three or four children work together, and first decide who is who in the "family". They then go to a restaurant and order their food, inventing problems for the waiter to solve.

We are also doing a similar role play on the same theme, going to the supermarket and filling a trolley. Just as children do in supermarkets in real life, the children in the role plays are very demanding, wanting this, wanting that, demanding everything, particularly unhealthy things!

OUR DELICIOUS RECIPE

Food is one of the topics studied in 1st Year Primary. Related to this concept, students have learnt words for fruit, vegetables and other types of food through different activities such as songs, board games, playing with flashcards and so on. Moreover, they have carried out one lovely project in which they had an awesome time in class and at home.

This project consisted on selecting one recipe they could cook at home with their parents (salad, Spanish omelette, pizza or pasta). Afterwards, they had to write this recipe in the classroom including ingredients, procedures and some drawings. Finally, they stuck some photos of them cooking or eating the dish and they showed the completed project to their partners.
