At PK–12 Virtual Academy, we believe learning should go beyond the classroom. That’s why we encourage our students to join exciting clubs where they explore real-life skills, creativity, and wellness. One of our most loved activities comes from our very own Nutri-Quest Club (Nutrition & Healthy Living Club), where students recently learned about something we all need every day—food and nutrition! 🥗✨
🥦 Exploring the Food Pyramid: Building Blocks of Healthy Living
Our session introduced students to the Food Pyramid, a simple yet powerful tool that shows us what foods to eat and how much to eat. Children discovered:
🍞 Base of the Pyramid – Bread, cereals, and grains: the energy givers!
🍎 Second Level – Fruits and vegetables: packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
🥩 Third Level – Milk, dairy, nuts, meat, fish, eggs, and pulses: protein and calcium for growth and strength.
🍰 Top Level – Fats, oils, and sweets: tasty but best enjoyed in small amounts.
Students were amazed to see how different food groups work together to keep our bodies strong, active, and healthy.
✨ What Students Learned in Nutri-Quest Club
Through interactive discussions, fun videos, and hands-on drawing, our learners gained valuable insights:
✅ The five food groups and their importance.
✅ Why some foods should be eaten daily while others only occasionally.
✅ How a balanced diet helps us stay focused, energetic, and ready to learn.
✅ Fun facts about fruits, vegetables, proteins, and snacks.
✅ How to make smarter food choices—like swapping chips for fruit or soda for water.
🎨 Creativity in Action: Student Food Pyramids
The highlight of the session? Our students designed and presented their own Food Pyramids!
Armed with colors, pencils, and imagination, they created vibrant posters showing their understanding of healthy eating. Some drew colorful fruits 🍉🍓, others added creative grains 🌽🥯, and a few even included their favorite healthy meals.
These drawings weren’t just artwork—they were a reflection of how each child interpreted the importance of balanced nutrition.
