This afternoon we will be looking at food waste, what happens to it and the effect it has on the world. I hope you’ll think twice about not finishing your tea tonight! There are three videos below to tell you more…

When you have watched the videos above, try out this Food Waste quiz and see how you get on (I got 6 out of 7!)

For a last one, watch this video below. It follows the journey of a leek. Just because we like everything to look the same in the supermarket, they have to waste so much of the leek until it gets there! Solution? Buy wonky veg at the supermarket! It tastes exactly the same!
Reading: Please do your daily reading and record it in your reading record. You can now also go on: https://www.myon.co.uk/login/index.html to do your online reading and quizzes too! We can see how many books you have read and how you are doing on your quizzes. So go on, let’s get reading!
