PSHE: 2a, 2h, 3a, 4a,
5a, 5c, 5d and 5h

You will need:
Activity worksheet 9. Grab 5! survey sheet
Action Pack, section 2 and information bank 8

Explain to the children that they are going to design a Grab 5! campaign. Ask the children to make a list of information that that will help them.

 

Things to consider when planning a Grab 5! campaign:

  • What is the basic message of the campaign?
  • Which people do we want to influence with the campaign?
  • What do we want to achieve?
  • How much do people already know about the benefits of eating fruit
    and vegetables?
  • How many portions of fruit and vegetables are the people we want to
    influence eating already?
  • What are the most popular types of snack?
  • What are the most / least popular types of fruit and vegetable?
  • How can we find the answers to the above questions? (By doing a
    survey/questionaire/trial.)
  • Is it easy to get hold of fruit and vegetables in school?
  • How can we get our message across? (See Action Pack, ideas bank and
    the following suggestions.)
 

Explain to the children that they are going to conduct a survey to discover information related to the Grab 5! campaign. This survey might include children and adults throughout the school and could be extended to include the family or wider community. Tell the children that the survey will be used to plan their part of the Grab ! campaign. The children can either design their own survey sheet or by use the example given on activity worksheet 9. Also see the sample survey in the Action Pack, Information bank 8.

The data can be analysed and used in conjunction with the planning of the campaign and may also be repeated at a later stage in order to assess the effectiveness of the campaign.
