Life Education

WHAT? 

Last Tuesday we went to the Life Education truck. Our big question was what does our body need to stay healthy and happy?

I learned that there's lots of sugar, salt and last of all fat in food and there are different names for them.      
I also learned how to read the nutritional information on the packaging.
