Kinder 2.5: Food & Drink

During the month of March we learned about food & drink. We learned about the importance of eating a lot of healthy food and very few junk food.
To start the topic we did the food pyramid together so that we learn the different food groups in the pyramid and remember that we should eat very few junk food.

During the first week we learned about fruit and the importance of eating a lot of fruit. We learned the names of the fruit in Maltese & in English. Below are the activities we did about fruit. Apart from these activities we also did a fruit salad where we tasted different fruit.
