Task | Recall and Record | Reflection

Task

The Daily Diary will help you think about and record what you currently eat/drink for breakfast and how active you are through the day. You will need to set some time aside at home each day for a week, from Monday to Sunday, to recall and record all the food and drink you have had to eat in the morning. You will also be recording the physical activity you did that particular day for a week.

You could do this as a homework exercise or first thing each day when you get to school.
