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.
