Explanation
Healthy food helps our body grow strong. We eat lots of fruits and vegetables of many colours. We eat bread, rice and beans every day. We eat some milk, eggs and cheese. We eat sweets and fried food only a little. We drink water. Before we eat fruit and vegetables, we wash them. We wash our hands too.
Worked examples
Youssef’s plate is colourful. It has a red tomato, a green cucumber and an orange carrot.
Farida chooses an apple for her snack. A cake is a treat. She eats a treat only a little.
Jana’s plate has 2 carrots and 3 tomatoes. Count the vegetables: 5.
Class activity
Make a colourful plate. Draw a big plate. Draw foods of four different colours on it. Say which foods are healthy. With a grown-up, wash a fruit and share it. Always wash your hands first.
