During PE we completed some team relay races. The leader of each team had to pick their favourite food and the number of laps each team had to do were determined by that, for example pizza was 1 lap whereas McDonalds was 3! We repeated for our favourite pudding and drink. We then realised the more unhealthy the food item, the more laps we needed to do. This was to understand the importance of healthy eating; foods high in fat such as chips require more exercise to ‘burn off’ than foods lower in fat such as a salad. Once we spotted the pattern, we soon changed our choices to try to win the races!
