As primary school teachers, it’s important to teach our students about healthy eating and cooking habits. We can use this as an opportunity to help our students learn more about food, nutrition and cooking. Here are 4 teaching ideas/activities that you can use in your classroom to help you do just that!
1. Plan a Cookery Funday! Invite your students to bring in their favourite recipes for a fun day of cooking together. It’s a great way for them to learn about different ingredients and techniques. 🥘
2. Create a Nutrition Poster. Ask your students to use their creativity to design a poster that explains the importance of a balanced diet. 📝
3. Have a Food Tasting Session. Invite your students to try different fruits and vegetables, and talk about what makes them healthy. 🍎
4. Create a Meal Plan. Ask your students to plan a week’s worth of healthy meals and snacks. It’s a great way to learn about portion sizes and the importance of a balanced diet. 🍲
