Mention different food groups and introduce words such as proteins and carbohydrates. • Introduce the children to the ‘Eat Well Plate’ or www.foodafactoflife.co.uk. Explain that we need to eat more from some groups and less from other groups to make our meals healthy. Individual work • On a blank plate, cut out and stick food pictures from magazines onto their plate section (lower KS2?) or draw in a variety of foods that you like to eat. Group • Discuss what you have for a snack. Could you have a healthier one? Survey group for favourite snacks and record on a tally chart. Plenary • Discuss what is healthy and unhealthy food and what they now know is a balanced diet. Get each group to share their favourite snack survey results and compile a list on the WB. Homework • Using topic books, leaflets and useful websites ask the children to create their own mind map with ‘A Healthy Balanced Diet’ as a centre bubble.

Theme 3 Lesson 2 KS2 Television script

Welcome. Today we will be talking about food and healthy eating. Hang on, why is healthy eating so important? Well, do you want to have the best possible start in life and be as healthy and active as possible? Yes Then a well-balanced diet is an important part of that and it may also help you concentrate and be alert and you all want to learn and be clever like me don’t you? Yes That’s why it’s important for children to eat a balanced diet. Wait a minute, what’s a balanced diet? I know, it’s a biscuit in each hand! No it’s not! If I eat the same amount of white chocolate and dark chocolate is that a balanced diet? (I love chocolate!) No it’s not! OK, I give up then, what is a balanced diet? OK the food we eat comes in 5 basic groups - protein, starchy foods, dairy, fruit and vegetables and finally sugars and fats. I like chocolate better! Go on then explain! What’s protein? (hold up a picture of Peter Protein) Protein is found in foods like meat, such as turkey, fish, such as tuna and eggs. What do we need protein for? It helps our bodies to grow.

Theme 3 Lesson 2 KS2 Television script

Wow, I could be 6 foot tall and so strong! OK then so what’s next? What are starchy foods? Starchy foods are foods like pasta, potato, rice and wholegrain bread. They give us the energy to keep active. OK and what about dairy? Well, dairy foods such as milk and cheese contain something called calcium, which is great for healthy bones and teeth. So a piece of cheese really can give you a cheesy grin! Well I know what sugars and fats are! Its things like cakes and biscuits, yummy! That’s right and sweets and chocolate and fizzy drinks! What are sugars and fats for then? Well they do give us energy and help keep us warm but we shouldn’t eat too many of them. Why not? I love eating sweets and chocolate. If we eat too many sweets and food which is high in fat we can become overweight. Being overweight is not good for your health. Sugar can also decay your teeth if eaten too often. Wait a minute! What’s this got to do with a balanced diet? Eating a balanced diet to help you keep healthier means eating the right amount of each of the 5 food groups. That means only a small amount of sugars and fats and at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. In fact people who eat lots of fruit and vegetables tend to be healthier because they are getting plenty of fibre which is good for their tummies and plenty of goodness from all the vitamins and minerals. Eating fresh, frozen, tinned, or dried varieties of fruit and vegetables and fruit juice are all good ways of getting more of these into your daily diet. Go on, give it a try!

Theme 3 Lesson 2 KS2 ‘5 A Day’ poem

Once there was a group of kids who never felt their best While their friends had lots of energy all they could do was rest One day feeling tired again, no energy to play They asked their good friend Bobby why they always felt this way Bobby Banana winked at them and said 'Hey follow me'. The children did just that led by Barney Broccoli Bobby said 'we'll show you how to run around and play Because everyone is healthy in the land of 5-a-Day'. The kids had never heard of this '5 what?'one asked with glee 'Vegetables', Amber Orange said 'and juicy fruits like me'. She led them down a winding path, the sun began to shine and 5-a-Day was painted on a bright and cheery sign. The people in this wondrous land had energy and might. The kids all found this happy land a promising new sight. The children in the village ate 5 servings every day of vegetables and fruit for vitamin C and vitamin A. And that's not all bananas or a pear can do for you – fruits and veggies have lots of fibre in them too. Vitamins and fibre still they didn't understand. What do these things do for the good children of this land? Vitamins maintain your health and fibre aids digestion, that's why eating 5-a-Day is such a good suggestion. 'Just what we've been looking for' the kids did cheer and root. 'But what's a healthy vegetable? And tell us about fruit.' 'Vegetables are sometimes green' said Barney happily. Asparagus and lettuce, collard greens and broccoli. And fruits are so delicious they make these townsfolk merry; Bananas, apples, raisins, grapes, pineapples and berries. These foods are so abundant that I bet you know much more. Can you name a fruit or vegetable I haven't said before? A yellow apricot, cantaloupe or mango. Some children mentioned carrots or a juicy red tomato. 'Delicious!' all the kids yelled 'Barney help us take this vow.' Barney Broccoli promised them 'I'll tell you how right now. A glass of orange juice is one for breakfast every day. A salad with your lunch will have you on your way. Some raisins for a snack and you can count to three with me. An apple and some carrots with a meal adds two to three.' 'That's 5!' they cheered. 'It's easy ! We'll feel better than before. Because of all our fruity friends we've learned to eat much more.' Their energy returned so they could go right out and play with the help of all their friends from the land of 5-a-Day.

From you: • Copies of the ‘Food Diaries’ filled in at home. Spare copies for anyone who was absent or has lost theirs which can be filled quickly with the help of an adult.

Explain to the class the objectives of the lesson.

• To be able to design a healthy sandwich using a selection of healthy fillings. • Understand which food groups their sandwiches belong to and say why they are healthy.

• Eatwell PowerPoint – www.foodafactoflife.co.uk • Wholemeal bread, a selection of healthy ingredients for the children to choose their fillings from. Provided by us: • Healthy eating sheet

Whole class • Recap on the previous lesson. Ask the children to get out their ‘Food Diaries’. • Show them the ‘Eat well plate’ PowerPoint. Explain to them that to stay healthy we have to eat a balance and variety of foods from the 4 main sections on the plate. We should try not to eat too much from the 5th section – fats and sugar foods. Check they understand by asking “would it be healthy if I ate just fruit?” No, we must eat a balanced diet to stay strong and healthy. • Show the ‘Eat Well Plate’ on the WB/OHP and look again at the 5 groups they need to eat each day to stay healthy and full of energy. Now lets look at our ‘Food Diaries’. Discuss any problems with filling them in. Partner Work • With a partner, I want you to check your food diaries and talk about all the healthy things you eat and all the other things you eat. Take turns to talk about your dairy with your partner. Whole Class • Allow the children to discuss what they found out about the food they eat. Show them the healthy eating sheet. Explain how to fill it in. Healthy eating sheet • Ask the children to write down which food group each of their items belongs to. Use the copy on the WB/OHP to help them. • Emphasise food hygiene here, washing surfaces, hands, any vegetables used and not using same board for meat and other food. Individual Work • Ask the children to go away and using their diaries fill in the sheet. Plenary • Lets look at our answers. Children share what they have found out about the food they eat. Is it balanced? Is it healthy? What can we do to make it better? Ask them to look at the sandwich ingredients on display. Can they design and make a healthy sandwich? Children will make their own sandwich, noting down what they used and how they did it, to write out later in English. They will also write on their sheet what their sandwiches contain and which food group they belong to and why it’s healthy. Homework • Ask the children to choose one of their favourite meals e.g. Spaghetti Bolognese 1. List what the ingredients are (what it is made of). 2. Say which food group each ingredient belongs too. Supported by 3. Say what is healthy and what is not.

• To help the children understand why we should eat fruit and vegetables. To help them understand how we can help others to eat more vegetables and fruit.

From you: • Raisins, apples and grapes.


• A selection of different fruit and vegetables, paper plates, kitchen roll.

Whole class • Ask the children if they have heard of the ‘5 A Day’ message. Explain to the children that a portion of fruit and vegetables is the amount that can be held in the palm of their hand. Demonstrate with raisins, apples, grapes.

• What the ‘5 A Day’ message is.

CHECK FOR FOOD ALLERGIES BEFORE THIS PART OF THE LESSON.

• Explain that many people including adults do not eat enough fruit and vegetables and often too much of other types of food. Group Work • Ask the children to discuss in their groups what they think this might do to their bodies and what ideas they can suggest would help. Whole Class • Let the children share their thoughts and ideas with the rest of the class. Stress the health risks as well as the obvious ‘being overweight’ answer. Include ideas of taking exercise too. Relate this to the idea of ‘energy in – energy out’ and that a balance between the two is important. Using www.kelloggs.co.uk/whatson/headstarters/let the children play the interactive game. As a class ask the children to design a poster to encourage people to eat more fruit and vegetables. OR Have a taster session of fruits and vegetables (try the unusual!). Let the children record in their books which they like and why. Also which they didn’t like and why. Leave some foods whole and chop up others for tasting. Choose a selection produced in the UK and is in season and others only available from abroad.

Theme 3 Lesson 5 KS2 Nutrition worksheet

Name:

Date:

Become a nutrition expert Read through the information. Use a coloured pencil to underline important words or phrases. Look for things that tell you why the food group is good for you. You are going to find out about the range of foods which should be eaten as part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy active lifestyle.

Fruit and vegetables These foods contain vitamins A and C, and fibre. They have lots of water in them, and natural sugars. Not only do they taste great but they are really good for us too! The vitamin C in fruit and vegetables is important for a healthy immune system, which means helping cuts to heal quickly and keeping our skin, hair and gums healthy. The fibre, mainly found in the skin of fruit and vegetables, is good because it helps us our tummies to digest our food. We should try and eat 5 portions per day.

Bread, cereals and potatoes These foods provide energy and fibre. Wholegrain bread is particularly good. They give us energy which helps us be more active. These foods are not fattening unless they have had things added to them, such as oil.

Meat, fish and alternatives These foods contain protein, fats, iron and B vitamins. Protein helps us grow, builds strength and helps the body repair itself. There is one problem though. Some of the foods in this group can be high in fat, e.g. pies and sausages. Try to choose lean meats with lower amounts of fat in them, such as turkey. Try to also take the skin off chicken and turkey. Vegetarian alternatives to meat, such as beans and tofu, are very low in fat. Baked beans are an example of a vegetarian food in this group.

Theme 3 Lesson 5 KS2 Nutrition worksheet 2

Milk and dairy foods These foods contain nutrients such as protein and some of the vitamins already mentioned in other groups. But one thing that is really important in dairy food is calcium. This is essential for strong bones and teeth.

Fatty and sugary foods Foods from this group should be a small part of your diet. We all need a little amount of fat in our diet to give us energy, but should try and reduce these foods where possible, and keep them for occasional treats after your main meal. Eating lots of foods which contain sugar can cause tooth decay if they are eaten frequently as snacks. Sugary foods and soft drinks give you a short burst of energy, so try to get lots of foods from the ‘breads, cereals and potatoes’ group instead. Especially if sports day is coming up or you have a game of football or tennis! Now you are an expert on nutrition... can you fill in the table below?

Main nutrients i.e. calcium

Fruit and vegetables

Bread, cereals and potatoes Meat, fish and alternatives

Milk and dairy foods

Fatty and sugary foods

Why are these important? i.e. good for teeth

Theme 3 Lesson 5 KS2 Teaching resource

Calcium Calcium is a mineral which is needed for growth and maintenance of strong bones and teeth.

Protein Protein is needed for the growth and repair of the body.


Starchy foods Provide a source of energy for the body.

Vitamins Help to keep our skin, hair and gums healthy.


Seven tips for healthy eating 1 Enjoy your food! Food should be enjoyable: there is no nourishment in food that is uneaten.

2 Eat a variety of different foods Choosing a wide variety of foods and including more vegetables, fruit, bread, cereals, potatoes, rice and pasta will ensure that the body gets a lot of the nutrients it needs.

3 Eat the right amount to be a healthy weight Each person needs a different amount of energy therefore each person differs in the amount of food they should eat. However much people need, the proportions of food from the five groups remains the same.

4 Eat plenty of foods rich in starch and fibre Most people do not eat enough of the starchy, fibre-rich foods like bread, potatoes, rice and pasta. Wholegrain cereal foods, such as wholegrain bread are particularly rich in fibre.

5 Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables A balanced diet contains at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. These are a really good source of vitamins, minerals and fibre.

6 Don’t eat too many foods that contain a lot of fat Some fat is needed in the diet for energy. However, many people eat far more fat than they need and can then become overweight. There is a lot of fat that cannot be seen in pastries, pies, cakes, biscuits, chocolate, sausages and burgers, as well as the vegetarian equivalents of these foods.

7 Don’t have sugary foods and drinks too often Drinking fruit squashes, fruit juices, fizzy drinks and colas too often can cause your teeth to decay over time. These acidic drinks are best kept to mealtimes.
