Question 8

Healthy Breakfast Week

Last week was Healthy Breakfast Week at my school. Every morning, Mr Rahim talked to us about food. On Monday, he said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Some children skip breakfast, but then they feel tired in class.

On Tuesday, we made breakfast plates in groups. My group put a boiled egg, two slices of bread, a banana and a glass of milk on the plate. Mr Rahim said it was a good plate because it had food from four groups.

On Friday, we each wrote a promise to eat breakfast every day. I think a healthy breakfast is the best way to start the day!
