Y3 worked hard writing care sheets for the ducklings. They included important diet and housing information. The children all understood that ducks need friends to be happy :)

We had some fantastic discussions about this, for example: enjoying chocolate in moderation, how many doughnuts is too many doughnuts(!), what makes water the best drink for our bodies, and why some drinks are not for children.  Year 3 were then tasked with sorting a range of different foods, drinks and ingredients into 'helping' or 'harming' for bodies. We were especially impressed to see that children understood that some items could be harmful for one person but not for another, for example, if somebody has allergies. Keep up the super sensible decision-making!
