The Life Education Van

 This week, the Life Education Van visited St Pius X Catholic School. Harold and Lynn are in the Life Education Van. Room 3 went on Monday and Tuesday.

 On the first day, Lynn told us about the things that our body needs to stay healthy. We need food, water, exercise, love, sleep and washes. She also told us about the Food Pyramid and what foods we need to eat to keep healthy. Harold had made us a puzzle that turned out to be the Food Pyramid. Harold told us about the 3 sources of Food. The sources are food from animals, food from the ground and different kinds of ingredients. 

Also, Harold had told us that he had been standing on Miss G's car with his new telescope and that he had seen an alien. Lynn didn't believe him but it turned out that he had seen one. Brain told the alien about food which also helped us with our learning.

On the second day, we looked at the human body and how the food goes down it. First, it goes into the mouth and the mouth is made up of 3 bits: teeth, tongue and saliva. Secondly, it goes down a long tube named oesophagus. Thirdly, it goes to the stomach, then it goes to into a long tube named the small intestines where it breaks up into small pieces. If the food is good, it goes to the blood, but if it isn't good, it goes into the toilet.

I had a great time at the Life Education Van and I learnt heaps.
