In our Unit of Inquiry, ‘Who We Are,’ Grade 3 students explored the human body and healthy choices. In addition to examining how different systems of the body work and their interconnectedness, they also studied the importance of looking after our bodies and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
To bring this concept to life, the students designed and made their own healthy smoothies, experimenting with a variety of fruits and vegetables. To add a touch of sweetness, they carefully selected natural options like honey. Working in small groups, they collaborated to perfect their recipes, strengthening their teamwork and communication skills in the process.
This hands-on activity helped them understand the importance of making healthy lifestyle choices and how these choices contribute to the overall well-being of the human body.
