We found out how important the sun is to plants. Plants make their own food and sometimes this is stored in the plant. We breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen.

Seasonal Fruit

We are learning about fruit and when it is in season. Using this table we can see the months of the year and when fruit is available. We will look in our lunch boxes and discuss what are imports and exports.

Food Idioms

Everyday people use idioms to express themselves. Food idioms are very common. We have looked at 10 idioms that are used in our daily language and discussed what they mean. Some are very tricky to work out and others are easy.

My favourite is "bring home the bacon" - which means to earn money.
In my family I bring home the bacon. I work to get the money!

Food Containers For Storing Food

Food Containers to store food. 1. Look in your lunch box to see how food is stored or wrapped? Show and discuss e.g plastic containers like Tupperware, glad wrap,packaging etc 2. What is the container or wrap doing to the food? 3. What happens when food is left out without being stored or wrapped? Goes soft, stale etc 4. I then show some special purpose containers and we discuss these . If time - can they think of any others that they have at home?

From Plastic To Clothes

We have been learning about all the things that plastic bottles can be made into. Remember to recycle plastic and keep up the good work!
