The science of food
Food preparation and cooking
Healthy eating and nutrition
Food hygiene and safety
Why this why now
Our diets, the food and drink consumed over time, should follow the food groups and proportions as depicted in the Eatwell Guide. Being able to plan against these principles helps to establish healthier eating patterns, as well as address less healthy patterns. This builds on previous learning through the Healthy eating and nutrition thread, such as knowing the food groups, and putting advice into practice. Energy and nutrients provided by the food groups, and their role, are examined in Year 5.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils will be able to list a range of factors that determine what people eat and drink.
- Pupils will be able to plan simple healthy meals.
- Pupils will be able to justify food choice for different occasions.
- Pupils will know that different food is eaten on special occasions.
- Pupils will know that people can have a reaction to specific foods, known as a food allergy.
