Adventure 9's food adventure

Why do we eat what we eat?

• it's yummy
• it's healthy for our bodies
• it gives us some energy

Then we had 5 activities to do to help us "get it" and "sort it" (find and sort information)

Can we put these things and pictures into groups?

Group 1, what we use to eat, like chopsticks or our fingers
Group 2, what we cook with, like a pot or a steamer
Group 3, what we use to cook, like an oven or a hangi

Check out our sorting!

Can we match the crop with the product?
What does rice look like when it is growing? What about pasta?

What we think now...
Why do we eat what we eat?

• it's yummy (we have different tastes)
• it's healthy for our bodies
• it gives us some energy
• to try new things
• we are unique - don't have to like the same thing, some of us like brussels sprouts, some, not so much!
• because of tradition
• different food grows in different countries ... because it's too hot, not enough rain, the weather

sometimes we eat what we eat because it grows where we are

Whew! What a busy time!
