We are writing posts on our own blogs to support Blog Action Day 2008.

We have been looking at how poverty affects education, and how education can help the fight against poverty.

We’ve looked at how school is important to us, why education should be available to all students, and the various places around our school that are important to us.

This term our school has been involved in a project called “Small Words Count” as part of National Literacy and Numeracy Week celebrations.

We have been looking at word problems, how they are written, what they are asking us to do, and how we should read and interpret what we have to do.

Each class had to demonstrate what they had been learning about in this project.

We constructed some designs and made up word problems using percentages or fractions.

This is what we came up with:

Ingredients:
A variety of fruits & veges
Grains and breads
Meats and protein
Good fats
Water
Regular exercise
Love

Procedure
1. Eat a variety of fresh foods
2. Drink plenty of water
3. Exercise at least 60 minutes
4. Mix with family and friends
5. Sleep at least 6 hours a night
6. Relax and de-stress
7. Laugh lots and be happy

Do you like this recipe that we came up with?
We are using it to think about what it means to be healthy, as part of a Book Rap we are participating in.
Did we miss anything out? Would you add any other ingredients?
We would love to hear what you think
