Year 4. Unit 2. Nutrition: Healthy, balanced meals

It is important to eat a good breakfast. We need energy in the morning. A good breakfast includes fruit, milk and toast or cereal.

For lunch and dinner we need to eat lots of different foods to get a variety of nutrients. Lunch and dinner should always include carbohydrates, vegetables and meat or fish.

We need to eat healthy snacks during the day, for example a sandwich, a piece of fruit or some milk.

• What did you eat for dinner yesterday? 
• Was it a healthy, balanced meal? Tell your partner.
• Example: Yesterday, I had vegetable soup, fish and potatoes for dinner. It was a healthy, balanced meal.
• What is your favourite healthy snack? Tell your partner.
• Example: My favourite healthy snack is a banana.

• The three layers of the skin are the epidermis, the dermis and the hypodermis.
• The receptors are sensitive to pressure, pain and temperature.
• Hair goes through every layer of the skin.
• The sweat gland is connected to a pore (also to a nerve or nerves).
• The receptors send the information to the brain through the nerves.

Year 6. Unit 2. Sensitivity

Through sensitivity, we respond to changes in the external environment. These changes are called stimuli.

For example, the sun warms our skin, so to maintain our normal body temperature, we move into the shade.

Year 4. Unit 2. Food and nutrition: A healthy, balanced diet

Our body needs food to help us grow, keep us healthy and give us energy. 

It is important to eat a healthy, balanced diet. 

A healthy diet includes nutrients from all the food groups. 

We also need to drink six to eight glasses of water a day!

We need to eat the correct amount of food so that we get enough energy to complete our daily activities. 

• If we eat too much food, our bodies accumulate the extra food as fat and we put on weight. 
• If we don’t eat enough food, we lose weight and we get thinner. 
• Being overweight or underweight can cause serious problems to our health.

Diets vary depending on how old a person is, and the amount of exercise they do. 

• When we are young, we need to eat enough food to be able to grow properly. 
• If we do a lot of exercise, we need to eat more foods that give us energy.
