Healthy Eating Infographics

After keeping a food diary and talking about 

"Eating Like a Champ", 

we are creating our own info graphic in Thinglink.

Check our student blogs and look at their Infographic to see how healthy they are.
Here is Mrs T's Infographic.
Roll your mouse over the image and find the hotspots to tell you what she does each day.

Gold for Valerie

Wahoo! We were so pleased about this news.

We had our own victory ceremony for Valerie this morning.

We had her photo on the whiteboard, we sang the National Anthem and we raised the flag in her honor.

Can't wait to see a photo of her with the Gold medal.

We have 100 medals!

Yipee!

Overnight we won more medals and that makes a grand total of 100!

Will we get any more?

Who is left on our top 10 list that might get a medal?

Not many days left now till the games end. 

The closing ceremony is Monday morning (our time).

Then we will look at our predictions and see how close we were.

Room 2 have their prediction in a Prezi presentation on their blog
