Seed Crackers

Seed crackers

In Room Six we have been learning about how we can stay healthy and have a well balanced diet. For a healthy class treat we made seed crackers.

Here is our recipe
Ingredients:
½ cup Sunflower seeds
½ cup Pumpkin seeds
¼ cup Sesame seeds
¼ cup Poppy seeds
¼ cup Linseed/flaxeed seeds
¼ cup chia seeds
½ tsp sea salt
1 cup water
1 sprinkle of flaky sea salt, to sprinkle


Directions:

Heat oven to 170C. Place all the seeds and the salt in a bowl, pour in water and mix to combine. Leave for 15 minutes for the chia and flax seeds to soften and bind everything together. Tip out onto a baking paper-lined oven tray and spread out as thin as possible (around 4mm thick) and sprinkle with some flaky sea salt. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and slice into crackers, then return to the oven to cook for another 20-30 minutes until crisp and golden. Remove to a rack to cool then store in an airtight container. Now your crackers are ready to eat.

On the last week of school we are going to be having a Healthy Food Party - Veggie Con on Monday the 2nd July, everybody will bring healthy food for us to eat as a shared lunch.

A Well Balanced Diet

A well balanced diet!

During our health inquiry we have been learning about a well balanced diet. We created a definition using a solo define map. Here is our definition:

A balanced diet is eating the right types of food that gives your body the nutrients to function correctly. To get proper nutritions from your diet you need to eat a healthy diet that contains the proper proportions of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. You need to eat a well balanced diet to maintain good health and to help you feel your best.

We also have learnt about the food pyramid, proportions, and the eatwell plate. 

Here is a picture of my food pyramid which includes the food groups and servings sizes. You must eat a balance of all food groups to maintain good health.
