Aspen's Picnic Adventure

Aspen class were the first to set off on their healthy eating  picnic adventure. The day started with preparing their own healthy snacks. The children all made their own sandwiches for the picnic and were discussing the mathematical concept of 'half' as they cut the bread and chose their choice of filling, jam or cheese. " It's half when you cut into two." explained Shajia.

After lunch the children were eager to get ready to walk to the park. On the way, the children had to pay close attention to the local environment and see if they could find a selection of things in the area. "I can see the bus stop." Said Amelia. The children had so much fun playing in the park and lots of children went on the orange climbing frame and its slide, and the large swing. 

Working up a healthy appetite after playing in the park, the children were ready for the picnic which had been made earlier. Eating their sandwiches and healthy fruit and vegetables, the children discussed the healthy food choices. This week in school the children have been discussing their likes and dislikes and making healthy eating choices during Healthy Eating Week. 

The children had a fantastic afternoon in the park and lots of children said that they wanted to go back!
