To continue with our learning about nutrition, the Scientists noticed something different in the room: a blank pyramid! At circle time, the teachers introduced the pyramid as a food pyramid, showing what are the things we should eat more of and what we should eat less.
As the teachers pulled out a different piece of food from the envelope, we decided as a class where to put things. Some things, such as cheeseburgers and spaghetti and meatballs, were placed on the outside because they could fit in a number of places on the pyramid.
The pyrmaid was left out during free play so that the children could continue classifying foods on their own or with one another. It was a real treat watching their minds work to figure out where we should put each food!
