Choose Healthy Food and Drink
Watch the video about making healthy food choices together as a class, then chat to a partner about your favourite healthy snack.
What types of food do you think are best for you to eat?
What snacks do we eat at school at Brain Food time?
What kinds of drinks are good for our brains?
Talk to your family when you pack your lunch together, make dinner or breakfast together or go to the supermarket to select foods. Explain to them what is and isn't a healthy snack!
If you have time, design a poster to show which foods and drinks are great for school. Think about brain food time, which are good morning tea snacks and what you could pack in your lunch box!
Put Rubbish in the Right Bin
How much rubbish do you make in a day? Think about all the work that you do, the activities you follow and the equipment you use.
Does it use lots of rubbish?
Does your lunch have lots of packets?
Do you buy lots of food in packets?
Where does your rubbish go when you have finished with it?
Think about whether your lunchbox is environmentally friendly. Does it have lots of plastic wrappers in it? Where does your rubbish go? Have a read of the website below or watch the video to find out where our rubbish and recycling goes!
Which bins do you have in your classroom? Where does your rubbish, food scraps and paper live? Make a poster to display next to the bins in your class to remind everyone!
