As
our partner schools we also teach our children to keep healthy. We've
got a special curriculum for this topic at our school.
In
year 1+2, children aged 6-8 we talk about the „Healthy food
pyramid“. Each one can see: the basic of it is to drink enough
water, tea, juice, milk,... . For a balanced food we'd eat corn,
potatoes, rice as well as fruit and vegetables for carbonhydrates and
vitamines. Milky productes contain calcium. Our body also need fat
and oil to transport all food. The top of the pyramid is chocolates
and sweets. You mustn't eat not so much of it.
Our
pupils worked in a learning carousel for more than one week. Each day
two lessons. They also did experiments in learning, listened to
stories and learned songs. One phase in the carousel was „Move your
body“. Moving is very important to keep healthy.
On
the last day of the project, the 12th of January 2016 all
pupils of our school had a big healthy breakfast. The older classes
aged 8-11 prepared a huge buffet with fruit and veggie salades,
sandwiches, drinks, fruity yoghurts, cheese- fruit skewers,... a lot
of yummie things. Because they already know from their early years
whats important in healthy food.
All
children brought a small plate, a cup, a knife and spoon and a box
with them to help themselves with the food. Teacher, older pupils and
parents worked as assistants at the buffet. The breakfast was paid by
the parents and donated by some companies. All pupils liked it- as
you can see on the photographes.
We
do this project in a similar way each year in January.
