In Health today, students started to explore nutrition.  When making healthy food choices students learned that they need to consider both the quantity and quality of the foods they choose.  We sorted different foods based on their qualities (amount of sodium, sugar, fibre, nutrients, preservatives) in everyday foods (foods we regularly include in our breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks) and sometimes foods (foods we enjoy during celebrations, as special treats or occasionally in our meals).  For example, the students determined that a fresh apple would be a great example of an "everyday food choice", whereas a fruit roll or apple pie up would be a "sometimes"treat as it is high in sugar.
