Children in Kinder A have returned from school holidays very settled and eager to return to their learning.  This term we have continued our health and wellbeing focus with our inquiry question “What does it mean to be healthy”?  Kinder A children were challenged to try some fresh fruit and vegetables from each colour of the rainbow, some familiar and some not so familiar.

It means you are taking care of yourself and you are doing the right thing for your body.  When we eat healthy stuff it makes our bodies take care of itself. – Georgia

I do some jogs.  That makes you healthy by running.  You need to eat fruit and veggies because they have lots and lots of good things in them.  I love grapes and apples, they have lots of nice juice.  I eat apples every night after I have my desert.  They have nice juice and they taste so good.  Oranges are nice too. - Vivien 

You have to stay healthy otherwise you get sick.  If you eat all of the bad food, it will make your whole body sick.  You need to eat lots of good food like fruits and other healthy food. – Pippa

Eat fruit.  Drink water.  Go out in the park to the playground and go round and round.  - Maria

When you eat oranges it makes you feel better.  It makes you grow strong and big and then you are able to do stuff like building things.  You need to brush your teeth so they are clean and then you can eat an apple and make your teeth clean. – Deacon

Children have also enjoyed actively playing together in our Kindergarten playground and exploring the big playground.
