Year 5 DT - Investigating Food Groups
In DT we have been doing Food Technology, and part of this subject is to understand the food groups, and how to eat a healthy balanced diet. We sorted foods into the different food groups, and were surprised to find out that some food like biscuits and cakes were not part of the food groups on the eatwell plate!
Wake Up Wednesday - Health and Fitness Apps
Over time, more and more fitness apps have been finding their way into circulation. Usually free to download – at least initially – these apps claim to offer helpful advice and assistance in routine management to those looking to lead a healthier lifestyle. While these platforms can be useful, they do present several safety concerns. These issues become more significant when we consider that children and young people can use these apps to stay active – whether out of concern for their own health or for reasons of body image. Our free guide breaks down the risks of health and fitness apps and offers expert advice on how to address these concerns to safeguard younger users.
