What's Inside Nutella? (4th Grade)

Hello, 4th Grade!

Do you remember the experiment we did about the sugar in drinks?

Well, now let's watch the following video, in which the real ingredients of Nutella® are analysed:


Again, this remember us that we have to eat OILS - FATS and SWEETS in moderation.

Rethink your drink (4th Grade)

Good afternoon!

They say that "a picture is worth a thousand words":



Isn't it shocking?

In 4th Grade we have analysed the sugar that the common drinks contain. We are sure that the next time we drink a juice for breakfast or we are invited to a party, we will think twice before having that drink...

Food Pyramid on the floor (4th Grade)

Hello, everyone!

Eating a variety of foods (as well as doing exercise) is the key point to be healthy. This is what we are discussing these days in 4th Grade.

Last week, we decided to make a huge Food Pyramid on the floor:



We classified some food into the different groups: GRAIN - FRUITS AND VEGETABLES - MEAT AND FISH - DIARY AND EGGS - OILS, FATS AND SWEETS.

After, we learnt which nutrients each of these groups gives us.

Rethink your drink (4th Grade)

Good morning children!

How are you?

In 4th Grade, we have done a very interesting experiment. So, we decided to display it at the corridors of our school so that everybody could see it.

It is called: RETHINK YOUR DRINK.

First, we brought cans and bottles of the different drinks we usually drink. Then, we analyzed the components of every can or bottle paying special attention to the SUGAR.


We calculated how much sugar is there in every drink.



Finally, we made a poster:




It is shocking how much sugar we can drink every morning when we have breakfast without knowing it!

This led us to a very intense debate. We strongly recommend you to reflect on these pictures...

Food Landscapes (4th grade)

Hello again 4th grade! 


A good way to introduce our new topic is by visiting the work of Carl Warner, artist and photographer. He creates "Foodscapes", which are landscapes made with food. And here it comes, our first unit in the year: FOOD.

Food groups and food pyramid (4th grade)

Good afternoon!

In 4th grade, we are studying the Food Groups and the Nutrients. We have built a giant Food Pyramid in order to understand how much of each food group we have to eat a day.








Remember that in the "4th Grade" section you have some games about food to practise at home.

Have a nice weekend, see you!
