Autumn 2

                      This term the class will be focusing on Healthy Eating.

 This is a Eat well Guide. 

 It shows the proportions and types of food to eat to stay healthy.

 We need to eat foods from each food group.

 The Eat Well Guide shows all the foods -  Meals and Snacks.

Key vocabulary 

Food: nutrients, nutrition, gluten, dairy, allergy, intolerance, budget, savoury and sweet .

Below is the vocabulary, the children , will be looking into to get a greater understanding of what healthy eating is all about:

Nutrition - The act or process of nourishing or of being nourished; the use of food for life, health, and growth

Gluten - The tough, viscid, nitrogenous substance remaining when the flour of wheat or other grain is washed to remove the starch.

Dairy - Relating to or for milk, cream, butter, cheese.

Intolerance - Abnormal sensitivity or allergy to a food.

When you are looking at healthy options, you need to consider ALL food groups that provide vital minerals and vitamins to the human body.

                                                    Our DT project is an ‘enterprise’ project.

Enterprise education in primary schools is an essential part of developing enterprising children.

It helps them understand the world of business and prepares them for future responsibilities and experiences.

In groups, the children wrote down things we could make to generate income (money).

They conducted market research to find out which product our consumers (customers) would be likely to purchase.

Market Research

Think: What sort of questions should we ask?

How could we record our results?

How could we display our results?
