Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Day

Have you heard of food revolution day? We looked up the word revolution and it means a big change. We joined Jamie Oliver for his Food Revolution Day. He says it's important for all kids to learn about food in school and we agree. 

Here's a video of what we got up to on Food Revolution Day. We took a cooking class with Jamie and made Squash It sandwiches.

We Are Growers!

Waka Whanake are GROWERS! 

 We spent a bit of time with our friends Harold the Giraffe and Liz from Life Education and we learnt a lot about the stuff we fuel our bodies with...FOOD! Here's a summary of what we learnt: We learnt about the food pyramid. At the bottom is all the food that grows in the ground. We can eat lots of these foods. The next part of the food pyramid is all the food that comes from animals and we can still eat these foods every day but not as much as fruit and vegetables. The top part of the food pyramid is food that is made in a factory. These are treats and we can have these sometimes.


What are your favourite foods that grow in the ground? Have you ever grown anything at home? Comment below, we would love to hear from you!
