Teacher's notes

These activities provide an opportunity for the children to explore their own ideas about some of the issues surrounding food and health. They are designed to encourage children to find answers to some of the basic questions about health and diet. The teachers will be able to assess the children’s current understanding and behaviour around healthy eating.
Children are not expected to work through all of these activities and teachers should decide which are the most appropriate. Some of these activities might be revisited at a later point to allow children to reconsider their initial thoughts.
