Summer Learning Journey Day 7

Day 7 – It’s Time for Breakfast!
You made it safely to your hotel and feel fast asleep. You’ve now woken up and are ready to start your day. Before you start, however, you need to eat some breakfast. Imagine that you and your whanau have walked out of the hotel and into a restaurant across the street. At the restaurant you are offered a traditional breakfast meal. Scroll through the examples below to see a picture of what is commonly eaten in your country for breakfast.

Activity 1
Compare the picture of common breakfast foods in the country you’ve chosen with what you typically eat for breakfast here in New Zealand. I usually have a bowl of sultana bran cereal with trim milk and a cup of tea. What about you? On your blog, please tell us:
I usually have some crackers to it and some Milo to drink.
  1. What you eat for breakfast?Crackers and Milo
  2. What people in your chosen country eat for breakfast?Pancakes and maple syrup

  3. Which of the two breakfast options (your breakfast or the breakfast in the other country) you prefer Why do you prefer it?I will prefer Pancakes with maple syrup.
    Activity 2Some of the most famous foods to come out of New Zealand include kiwifruit, lamb, whitebait, oysters, tuatua (shellfish), kumara, bacon and egg pie, hokey pokey ice cream, lolly cake, anzac biscuits and pavlova. Take a picture of you (or someone you know!) eating one of these famous ‘kiwi’ foods. Post the picture to your blog. Underneath the picture tell us what they are eating.
    Bonus Activity
    According to numerous researchers and fitness experts, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. They argue that people who eat breakfast will have more energy, be in a better mood, be able to think more clearly, do better at school and end up healthier than people who don’t eat breakfast.
    Interestingly, not everyone agrees. In fact, some people believe that breakfast is not the most important meal of the day because people often eat too much food at breakfast time, gain weight and become unhealthy. They think that it is better to skip breakfast and eat a number of small meals later in the day.
    After reading the arguments presented above, what do you think? Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? Why or why not?
Breakfast is most important meal of the day because when you eat breakfast in the morning you will have enough energy to ran around.

  1. Hi Helena,

    I agree with you! If we eat a good breakfast then we're more likely to be active during the day because we have the energy to burn, literally! I think breakfast is the number 1 most important meal of the day. I hope you enjoy your breakfasts!

  2. Kia orana Helena,

    I couldn't agree more! Breakfast is such an important meal of the day, but it confuses me when so many people ignore it or don't value it nearly enough.

    I usually have toast and coffee for breakfast, although my partner Bridget recently made a delicious banana and coconut loaf so I've been having that for breakfast! Yum! Although if I had a choice... I'd totally choose pancakes and maple syrup too :-) why do you think you'd choose that over your crackers and milo?

    Cheers,
    Dan.

    P.S. Do you have a hot milo or cold? I always have it cold, stir it through and eat it off the top!
