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!

    My fav food is strawberries. When I was little I used to get down on my hands and knees and eat them off the plant. We grow tomatoes - Lily

    Oooo I love zucchini fritters too Holly. Sometimes they grow so big that they turn into marrows which I'm not that keen on. I especially love the fruits you get in summer like all the delicious berries. What winter fruits do you like?

    Hi room 19 and 20. Did you know rice is made from the ground? It's really healthy for you. Does anyone like carrots Taylor loves them? Did you know ground food has natrual sugar in it so they are much more healthier then factory food. What is your favourite food that grows in the ground out of strawberries,apples,carrots,broccoli,cabbage,oranges or mandarins? Share your ideas below we would love to hear.😊😇

    Hi guys did you know that ground food is got sugar in it but it is healthy for you. When we we're at harold w learnt that sometimes factory food can be healthy for you but not most of the time. What was your favourite part? We would love to hear
