Healthy Living Week

This week the Doves have been busy using their problem solving, measuring and calculation skills to investigate how much sugar is in some of their favourite drinks. The outcome left us feeling very shocked!

First the children had to carefully read the nutrition label on the bottle of drink and work out whether this was the sugar content for the whole bottle or only part of it. This involved some very tricky multiplication where the children needed to use their multiplying skills.

Once the children knew the exact sugar amount they had to carefully measure the sugar using weighing scales. The children worked as a team to help each other read the scales and to measure the sugar accurately.

Finally the children worked as one big team to successfully order the drinks from the least amount of sugar to the most.I'm sure the children will enjoy telling you what they found. The investigation left everyone reflecting on how they could swap their drink choices for a healthier alternative...
