Food glorious food! Learning at home

Siobhan Jennings delivered our recent healthy eating assembly Nutritionist and Healthy Eating Adviser Alison Reddiex PSHE subject Lead

At our assembly we discussed… • What is healthy eating? • What is food waste? • Why do we choose the food we eat?

Learning At Home A great opportunity to prepare and cook your own food.

Learning At Home … • • • How have mealtimes changed during lockdown? Who chooses the food that your family eats? Have you been preparing more meals/ helping out in the kitchen more? Plan your shopping list and prepare some family meals using the Eatwell Plate? What do you notice?

Learning At Home … • Print out (next slide) or draw your own Eatwell plate for a family meal. • Think about getting a good balance. • Plan it, make it, enjoy it and next…bask proudly in your families compliments!!

How can healthy food help us?

Let’s talk about food waste … Where does it come from?

Buying food, then throwing it out is not only a waste of money, it also hurts the environment. By making a few small changes, we have a great opportunity to make a difference on this issue every day.

Wonky vegetables- how do they look/ taste?

What has happened?

How can you prevent mouldy food?

24 million slices of bread are thrown away each day !

How does this make you feel?

How could you reduce food waste? Make a family commitment! Plan ahead together. Buy what you need. Try new foods! Keep track of what you've bought and used. Make smoothies and soups to use food up. Start a compost area. Grow your own food. Think of your own ideas!

Taste!

Appearance Taste Cost Why do we choose the food we eat? Family Health Friends

Lockdown taste challenge … try some new foods and describe them…. For example…. less familiar fruit and vegetables, sardines, olives, food that someone else in your family loves/ dislikes……

Top tips … • You might need to try new foods up to 15 times before you decide if you like it! • It’s ok to like different foods to your friends and family. • Be adventurous … you might discover a new taste you love. • Eat with friends and family. • Try growing your own food at home or at school. • Get involved in cooking and preparing your food.
