Bella, Patience R, Pippiana,

We learnt how important it is to have a healthy balanced meal, which means a healthy diet. A healthy meal is made up of a quarter of a plate of carbohydrates, a quarter plate of protein and half a plate of vegetables. You should have about 8,700 kilojoules a day. Did you know that carbohydrates are starches (This includes potatoes, breads, flour, etc….) . Meat, fish, cheese, tofu, beans, lentils, yogurt, nuts, and seeds are all proteins. You shouldn’t have too much saturated fat because if you do, it could eventually lead to a heart attack. (Saturated fat is butter.) Sugars are carbohydrates that provide our bodies with energy. You need sodium to have a healthy diet. Sodium is for tears and sweat (ick!). You need protein to repair your bodies tissues. Protein also helps you grow. If we eat more energy than we need it will be stored as body fat. Our group, chose France. We made a baguette as our carbohydrates, the salad as the veggies and the chicken drumsticks as the protein. A big thanks to our fantastic parent helpers Sheila, Ngawai, Masami and Nikki!

Aliyah, Maija, Sam, Matheus and Austin We learnt how to make sushi with Masami. it was nice to know how to make Healthy food from around the world. Making all the ingredients was really interesting; like how we make teriyaki chicken. We learnt how to make sushi by folding and squeezing the sushi to hold it all together. Before we put the things on we dipped our hands into the Vinegar. I never knew that sushi was made like that. I had a very interesting day and I also saw how other people made different foods from different countries. I loved experiencing different food. I think the best part of making it was when we put all the ingredients on the seaweed first then the rice, chicken, cucumber and then the egg. IT WAS FUN!

Nicole,Patience K,Jade and Kcam Today we made a German meal we had to get all the ingredients and a recipe how to make it.We made sauerkraut with pickles and black bread. We also cooked some onions to go with it. We chose the German meal because it looked like a very good meal and also because it was a little change for us all to try something new. In our meal we had some carbohydrates. The carbohydrates were black bread. We had protein the protein was sausages. We also had cabbage,gherkins, and chow chow those were the veggies. We also had onions. Here are some of the ingredients we used and the amount of kilojoules in it. We enjoyed cooking a German meal. We had lots fun hopefully we can do it again sometime.

Chevylee, Madison, Sean and Billie.

Chevylee Harper, Madison Easton-Clark, Sean Griffin And Billie Baker We have been learning about healthy food and we decided to make a healthy and balanced meal. The food that we chose was Chinese food. We made a stir fry with chicken vegetables and egg with a side of rice. it didn’t come out as we wanted it to but it still tasted good. We made chinese food, the cooking was fun but I thought we needed a little bit more salt. When we cooked the rice we kept on wondering if it was cooked or not and eventually when it was cooked we remembered that we didn’t clean it first and there was a lot of starch in it! Cooking the rice took a while and it was a bit gooey but I didn’t mind it.

Chevylee Powtoon!

Healthy Food Animation I really enjoyed finding out how to use Powtoon to make an animation and how to use the props and the image library. I also really enjoyed learning about healthy food and learning how to make a balanced meal. I think I did well by not getting distracted by others and just keeping focussed. I also think I did well making the pictures and facts come in at the right time and also trying to do my best. I think I could improve on maybe trying to not muck around too much with props and backgrounds until I have the facts and the actual timing right.

Pippiana Powtoon!

Healthy Foods-Powtoon We were learning how to make a powtoon. I did mine on healthy foods and a balanced diet, because it is so important. It was my first time using the app and I think I did pretty well. I had a lot of fun playing with the animations and pictures. I think the best part of making it was figuring out which way for the food and words to come on and off. Next time I think I could do a few more slides and animations. I also think I could also add some music.

Puppy dog. By Patience KH and Chevylee.

WALT Part 2 Puppy Dog We learnt how to make an animations and how to share it with your team and your teacher and to put it in the WeVideo Folder We did well in the animations because it was my first and second time producing and creating the video I was moving the dogs and Chevy was doing the captures and that is when you are taking the pictures. I think Chevy and I can improve by not mucking around with the playdough and just getting on with it. To make sure it is our best work we can work together with each others ideas and double check our videos and see if there is any hands in the video.
