Welcome to Dosbarth Cadair Idris.

Our topic this term is all about health and wellbeing. The children will be learning about making healthy food and drink choices and how these can help us stay happy, healthy and active. Throughout the term, we will explore the importance of a balanced diet, regular exercise and healthy lifestyle habits, and look at how these can have a positive impact on both our physical and mental wellbeing.

As part of their learning, pupils will investigate how the choices we make every day can affect our health. They will use their knowledge and skills to create ideas and products, make thoughtful decisions, and consider how their actions can influence their own wellbeing and that of others.

We will begin our topic by thinking about what we already know about food, healthy eating and healthy lifestyle habits. The children will then learn about the Eatwell Guide and how it can help us make healthy choices. We will explore the different food groups and discuss why it is important to eat a variety of foods as part of a balanced diet. As part of our learning, we will investigate a range of foods and sort them into the five Eatwell Guide food groups. The children will then use their knowledge to plan and create a healthy meal and drink, choosing foods from across the different food groups.

After half term, our focus will move to a humanities topic. We will be exploring the history of food is a chosen time period and how what we eat has changed over time.
