RECIPE FOR HEALTHY EATING

This week “Healthy Eating” was the focus of two morning workshops at Micklefield School in Reigate.  Year 5 and 6 pupils had the opportunity to explore different aspects of food through three practical activities.  An initial presentation about the digestive system and importance of diet, led by a SATRO Associate, provided a good introduction to the topic.  The children then split into three groups to work with a volunteer leader on making flapjack, planning a meal within a budget and being a packaging detective – analysing food labelling.  The pupils enjoyed a fun and informative session, with the added bonus of being able to take home a piece of hand-made flapjack at the end of the day.

Pupils' comments on what did you learn...
"How much salt, sugar and fat is in food and how to eat healthily." 
"I learnt how to read packaging, how to spend a low amount of money for a healthy meal and the dangers/how to be careful with hygiene."
