My favorite animal is a cute little puppy because they are so fun to play with outside and inside

In class we have been learning about the digestive system.

The first stage of the digestive system is the mouth.

The mouth breaks down the food using our teeth and saliva.

There is a muscle called the gullet that helps the food get pushed into the esophagus. The esophagus is a really long tube that leads to the stomach.

In the stomach there is an acid that helps the food melt to liquid and break the food to even smaller pieces. It takes 4 hours to melt.

Then we have the small intestine that absorbs the vitamins and minerals.

The large intestine is a big fat tube that leads to the rectum. The large intestine absorbs the salt and water.

The rectum is the last step. The rectum gets rid of wastes and all the stuff you don't need.

In room 9 I wrote an acrostic poem about my name.

Digestive System

We have been learning about the digestive system. This slideshow is all about the different organs and what they do.

Food for thought

Guess what!! Yesterday Room 9 went to Pak n Save to learn about healthy food.

Once we got to Pak n Save, we all had to get into groups. We had to look for healthy food and unhealthy food to look at the food labels.

On the food labels we wrote down energy, fat total, fibre, sugar, salt-sodium.

We wrote down how many calories they had. The first isle we had to look at was the vegetable/fruit isle.

Our group had to find the rainbows. We had to write down the colour of the part of the fruit or vegetable we eat.

Once we were done, we had to go back to school. We got given a lunchbox and a $60 voucher to spend on healthy food for our class. I wish we could do it again.
