Studio 14 New World supermarket visit!

We were lucky to visit the Kaiapoi New World to learn about the nutritional information for everyday and treat foods. BIG thanks to Theresa, Marianne, Tony and Marewa for helping us out today! We are looking forward to designing a healthy lunch menu . . . and spending the $60 of course! We made lots of connections to our Visual Language unit ‘ADVERTISING’. Here are some of our thoughts from today:

Josh - “I like how we learnt about different foods and how much stuff they have in it like sodium and sugar.”

Kyla - “I liked comparing foods and writing down the different colours of fruit and vegetables.”

Yasin - “Some foods have lots of stuff and some others have lots of that.”

Sam - “I like how we didn’t just do everyday foods but occasional foods too.” 

Callan “We found the ‘Coco bomb’ thing and it had a food pyramid on the back and it said 'lets eat healthy' but it should have actually been at the top of the pyramid because it had loads of sugar.”

Kyla - “If the food looks nice we are more inclined to buy it.”

Harry - “There was a ‘fruit bar’ in the fruit and veges area and its advertising had 'High in fibre' on it but it was actually really bad.”

Betty - “Special k hooks people in because it says if you eat it for one month you will get skinny.”

Callan -  “I learnt that chocolate milk has more calcium than other milks.”
