Rap for Healthy Foods



Choice, choice, it’s all about choice!
When it comes to your health, you do have a voice.
Choice, choice, it’s all about choice,
When it comes to your health, you gotta have a voice


Eat your fruits and veggies at every meal.
To keep your body healthy, improve how you feel.
Apples, bananas, grapes, and cherries,
Melon, kiwi, pears, and STRAWberries
Carrots, peas, beans, and tomatoes,
spinach, yams, rice, and baked potatoes.
These are healthy food choices you can make,
there are much more, besides candy and cake.
Sugary foods can give your teeth black holes,
and make it hard to reach your basketball goals.


Fat and greasy foods are bad for your heart;
they make you too heavy you know that’s not smart!
If you get the munchies, or a snack-attack,
pull a piece of fruit from your school backpack.
When your throat gets dry, to cure your thirst,
say no to pop, drink spring water first.
Push your plate away before your belt gets tight,
take your time benny boy, enjoy every bite.


Cause it’s, choice, choice, it’s about choice.
When it comes to your health you do have a voice.
Choice, Choice, it’s all about choice!
When it comes to your health you GOTTA have a voice!


Now breakfast is the meal you never wanna skip.
Like filling the gas tank before you take a trip.
Now that you’re eating healthy every day,
flip your X-box off, leave the house and play.
Do what you love, play your number-one sport,
let’s shoot, pass, and dribble on the b-ball court.
Stick with the plan, and your day will come,
you’ll get picked to play, and have a ton-a-fun.


Choice, choice, it’s about choice!
When it comes to your health you do have a voice.
Choice, choice, it’s all about choice!
When it comes to your health you GOTTA have a voice!


Don’t get up yet, cause we’re not through;
got another rockin’ rhyme to rap to you.
After losing weight, you can’t get slack,
‘cause the Blubba Hill Gang will surely come back.
They creep late at night, while you’re snoozing in bed,
Stuff n Gut and his boys will try to get in your head.
Bluebird chips, $1 worth of lollies, fizzy's,
Wanna tease you, they won’t make it easy.
Don’t let’em tempt you with a bowl of Chunky-Monkey.
And turn you back into a chubby food flunkie.
The Cardio Kidd, and Fat Fighting Force,
will help you reach your goals, and stay on course.
You can do it, Benny, you got to believe!               
Take it day by day, and you will achieve!   


Just never make sports more important than school,
‘Cause failing in the classroom is really not cool.
If you’re called mean names, just “smile and wave!”
Don’t let ’em steal your joy, you GOT to be brave!
Think for yourself why follow the crowd?
You wanna be a leader, make your family proud.


One last point, to please consider,
There are other young people that need to get fitter.
If they come to you and ask for your advice,
Share what you’ve learned, cause it pays to be nice!


We hope this little rhyme, helped you understand,
The healthy life you want is right in your hand.       
Your lesson’s over now, things should be clearer,
The only one can stop you is the person in the mirror.


Choice, choice, it’s all about choice,
When it comes to your health, you do have a voice.
Choice, choice, it’s all about choice,

When it comes to your health, you GOTTA have a voice!  

Healthy Foods


One of the issues in our community is food. Especially what we're putting in our mouths that are causing physical issues. Such as heart attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes, organ failures etc. Our group's top priority is persuading people in our community to start eating healthy. I strongly believe that Glen Innes can make a change to their eating and health. Firstly, we could get rid of the fast food restaurant's that contains the most grease in their food. Such as KFC, Mac Donalds, Carls Jnr, Pizza Hut, Dominos, and bakeries. Instead of those buildings, we could have fruit and veggie stores. Like I said previously,"Our group's top priority is persuading people in our community to start eating healthy." Our progress upon 'Healthy Foods' is going great and our group especially is waiting to make a change in our society.

Our sustainability unit

This week, we are learning to work in project groups and identify and understand a sustainability issue in our community.  We will get into groups of 3 or 4 and choose an issue that we are interested in.  We will work through an inquiry into the issue, to find out more about what the problems are, who are the people involved and ways to help make the issue more sustainable.  There are about 6 projects that we can choose from around the future focussed theme of sustainability in our community.   Here is a list of our projects:


Each group will have a leader who will write on our class blog to tell us where they are at with their projects.  This will help us keep track of where we are at and if we need help, our teachers can help guide us in the right direction.  We are really excited to work together to find solutions to make our community sustainable!

Our class visiting the River Talks programme last week.


Our river is full of pollution and one of projects will look at ways to clear up our waterways
