New resources

New beginnings with old friends

Food – a fact of life are pleased to begin our new blogging adventure to highlight the release of our new primary resources.

 

Alisha, Jordan, Nicola and Ronnie have been busy exploring healthy eating, cooking and where food comes from through six exciting stories. A wide variety of free teaching resources such IWB activities, PowerPoint presentations and video clips are available to support teachers educating young people in primary, middle or special schools. The focus is to build the knowledge of children through different food experiences which are designed to support cross-curricular/inter-disciplinary learning. They include:

1. The colourful present – Alisha helps Ronnie put together a colourful fruit and vegetable basket for his Grandma’s birthday (5-8 years).

2. The bucket garden – Mrs Begum’s class learn about where potatoes come from and create their own bucket garden (5-8 years).

3. The farm visit – Mr Valdez takes the class on a dairy farm visit. They meet Mrs Jenkins, the farmer and learn about how milk is produced (5-8 years).
