PSHE: 3a and 2k Science: Sc2: 2b

Ask the children to think about the effects of food and drink upon health. Compile a class list of food and drinks divided into two categories;

Note that some foods may fit into both categories.

Invite children to explain their ideas about the ways in which these foods actually affect the body, for example, "Sweets are just full of sugar which makes your teeth decay".

Ask the children to make a copy of the list. Ask them to put a tick next to the foods and drinks they like and a cross next to any foods and drinks they don't like. Ask them to find out which category has the most ticks and crosses.

Ask them which foods they think they should eat more of to improve their diets.

Science, Activity 1: Why we need food. Maths, Activity 11: Use of Carroll diagrams to present information about their attitudes towards different foods and drinks.
