Big is GOOD!!

Today we had a visit from Mitre 10 Mega's Ambassador, Levi! (The guy from the TV ads). He is a champion strongman and is huge! He told us all about his strongman career and how hard he has worked. He also told us that he eats 30 eggs, one kilo of chicken, one kilo of kumara, 600g of broccoli, four bananas and protein shakes all in one day! WOW!
After Levi spoke to us, he took Amanda from our room and Max from Room 11 outside and lifted them both up! They will probably be in the Advocate tomorrow, so keep an eye out.

Fruit Burgers

On Wednesday, we made twisty fruits! It was lots of fun. We decided that a better name for this healthy snack was Fruit Burgers, because that is what they looked like! Here are the photos...

We then had to write a recipe together for this delicious healthy snack. Here it is, in case you want to make these at home!

FRUIT BURGERS

You will need:

Red apple
Green apple
Orange
Nashi pear
Honey (in a squeeze bottle is best)
Chopping board
Sharp knife

What to do:

1. Slice the fruit.
2. Squeeze honey onto the fruit slices.
3. Stack the fruit slices on top of each other, starting with a bottom piece and finishing with a top piece.
4. Eat!

Yummy!

Fruits and Vegetables

We have started a new topic this week. We are learning about healthy eating and will be exploring food groups, trialling some delicious recipes and learning about procedural writing for the rest of the term.
This week we focussed on fruits and vegetables. Each member of Room 12 selected a fruit or a vegetable. They had to go home and find out a reason why it was healthy and good for us. They did a great job! Keep an eye out for our talking pastel pictures, which explain all the things we found out about our fruit and vegetables.
We will also be posting our favourite recipes on the blog too!

Food Faces!

Today we made funny food faces using the iPod touches. It was so much fun! We are going to be learning about healthy eating and recipes for the rest of the term, so started off the unit with this fun activity!
