TYPES OF NUTRIENTS

A healthy, balanced diet consists of the right amount of the nutrients your body needs to function properly. 

Your body is a machine and food is fuel. The six types of nutrients are: 

1.    Water 

2.    Carbohydrates 

3.    Protein 

4.    Fats 

5.    Vitamins 

6.    Minerals 

Water: Yes, water is a nutrient. It is the most important nutrient. In fact, your body is mostly water. Water carries nutrients to the cells in your body. 

Protein: Proteins are nutrients that are essential to the building, maintenance, and repair of body tissuesuch as the skin, the internal organs, and muscle. They are also the major components of our immune system and hormones. 

Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates provide fuel for the body in the form of glucose. Glucose is a sugar that is the primary source of energy for all of the body's cells. Adults should get about 45% of their calories from carbohydrates. 

Fats: Fat is made up of compounds called fatty acids or lipids. Depending on their chemical structure, these fatty acids are called monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, saturated, or trans fats. Trans fats and saturated fats are the unhealthiest fats to eat. 

Vitamins: Vitamins help with chemical reactions in the body. In general, vitamins must come from the diet; the body doesn't make them. There are 13 vitamins essential to the body. They are divided into two categories: water-soluble (vitamin C and all the B vitamins) and fat- soluble (vitamins A, D, E, and K). 

Minerals: Minerals, like vitamins, must come from the diet; the body doesn't make them. Many minerals are vital to the proper function of the body and must be taken in relatively large amounts (such as calcium, potassium, and iron). Others, like trace minerals (zinc, selenium, and copper), are only needed in small amounts to maintain good health.

My Body

Today we are going to discover the parts of our body, and what better way to do it than to start singing. Go for it!

 What did you think of the song?
 

Now I propose a game in pairs, one of you will have a blog of drawing and crayons, the other partner, will describe a monster for which they have the drawing blog draw it. The companion who describes the monster will invent a very strange one, with several feet, many arms, or just one, several eyes, mouths, ears ... you will have to tell your partner how many feet he has, how many eyes, how many arms, how many heads He has the monster. Then you change the role, and the one you were drawing now describes a monster that is invented and the other partner will draw it. I leave this image as an example of what you can do:

I can not think of anything better to finish this part than playing it. I am going to share a link to "Mundo Primaria" in which you can play online with a boy who you will have to identify his body parts. This way we will learn more about the parts of the body and we will play using the ICT that we all like so much.

Looking for more online games, I have seen that the website "Brithis Council" has a section dedicated only to games. I have seen that they are very fun and educational, so I share the link to this webside as well.

I hope you enjoyed and learned equally with these post.

Thank you for visiting and leave your comments, which will undoubtedly help me improve them.

My neighborhood

A neighborhood is an area of a city with a sizeable population. The neighborhood has its own cultural, economic and social characteristics.

What can we find in a neighborhood?

We can find different businesses such as bakeries, pharmacies or supermarkets.

What can we find in your neighborhood? What do you think if we take a walk through the neighborhood in which we live and discover what it is like? I suggest you take a walk around the neighborhood accompanied by your families and take a camera. Make photos of the shops in your area, the park (if you have one), the school, the medical center ... Then you can print those photos and make a mural with them in which you can also drawing and writting: if the neighborhood streets are wide, What do you like most about your neighborhood and what do you like the least? How are the people in my neighborhood? Are there houses or is it a neighborhood with many buildings? Where do you live, in a house or a flat?

To finish, you could share your work in the blog and also take them to class so that the rest of the classmates know you a little more. Finally, you will explain to your classmates what you like most about your neighborhood.

This new activity is designed to involve the entere educational community, involving families, teachers, students, neighborhood. Nothing better than the family to help the child discover the environment that surrounds him.

Healthy and unhealthy food. 

Hello Everyone!

Today we are going to learn which foods are healthy and which foods are unhealthy.

Healthy food is one that provides us with the necessary nutrients for the body and helps us grow strong and healthy, on the contrary, unhealthy food is one that does not give us benefits, but harms us.

I have found a video on YouTube that has seemed very simple and that will dynamically and visaully help us in our work.

After watching the video,  I encourage you to classify the foods in the following image as healthy or unhealthy food. 

 

Finally, I propose the following activity of own creation, which was done with HotPotatoes.

 I hope you are enjoying the activities that I proposing.

See you tomorrow!!

Colors

Today, we are going to talk about the colors. For that, the first thing we will do is watch a video with a funny and appropiate song:

As we are in the autum, we can do very nice activity with the children and that will also motivate them a lot. We can propose to take leaves that have fallen to the trees and use them to paint them in different colors, they can use their hands to paint or paint brushes, whatever they prefer, I personally think that painting with your fingers can give them a very aesthetic meaningful. 

Later, they can customize the leaves, drawing eyes, legs, hair ... and behind each sheet they will write the color they have used to paint it.

Finally, to finish this post, I would like to propose an activity from own creation (with HopPotatoes).
