Making a Food Pyramid for Health & Well-being at Ela Green School

 As it is a center of value addition concerning the health and well-being of students, learning by doing is hugely applied by Ela Green School. The other day students went to the class with food items, and even Kinder acted as the decorators; however, this time they were able to make better use of the food items as they built a food pyramid.




Classroom Activity: Classifying Food Groups.


In this activity, each student drew a chit from a box in which he/she had inscribed the name of the food item. Their assignment was to establish what the food was and put it in its family. Learning this process included learning the food groups, which include fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy products, and the roles and practices.





Building the Food Pyramid.


The students explored further cooperation through the making of a food pyramid after food item classification. The pyramid portrayed the order of importance of various means, stating that a healthy diet is when the right amount of nutrients, nutrition of all types, is taken in moderation. The visual representation helped to strengthen the principle of moderation and the example of daily food consumption.





Strengthening Understanding in Nutrition


The task is challenging and very useful in helping the students explore and consolidate their knowledge of categorizing food items based on their nutritional qualities. They understood it better by doing what different kinds of food do towards maintaining a healthy, balanced diet.


It is through such activities that Ela Green School seeks to embed health and well-being, as part of its educational philosophy, within its students and motivate the students to take responsibility for their nutrition and physical activity.
