Finally After 4 Years: A Look at our Nutrition Month Celebration

Three years after the "new normal", school events and activities were back to engage the students with learnings beyond the four walls of the classroom. This school year, school calendar is back to normal and public schools have opened in June. As part of the TLE/TVL Department, this year was very crucial to us because July is Nutrition Month. Preparations were underway. Activities that are with relevance were carefully created and organized so as not to disrupt the classes. And as always, my favorite contest or competition is the cooking contest. This is one of the perks of a TLE Teacher but there is also a negative impact- a discomfort in your tummy because of tasting various kinds of foods. And I am very careful this time haha.

As one of the judges in the cooking competition, it really takes a good palate to scrutinize the food. So as not to be subjective, I make sure to put the details in the mechanics and the criteria. Of course, it is a competition and learners are, I must say very competitive.

The learners must able to produce food which contains the 3 basic food groups.

That day seems like a feast in our school as the competition was held for the day. Each advisory class prepares for their entry wholeheartedly. They contributed for the ingredients and their advisers also were in support. The relevance of this competition? This teaches the children to eat the right and balanced food. Most young generation nowadays are into fast foods, which we all know they harm our bodies.

The month-long activity culminated with a showcase of Nutri-costume in the Mr. & Ms. Nutri-Teen. Everyone showed their creativity and ingenuity as they strut on the runway cladded with their DIY costumes. We are amazed as to how they put their minds into crafting and producing such beautiful pieces of art.

That's for my blog today. Enjoy reading!
