DT / Food / Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack’s Bean Salad - DT activities
This unit can be used alongside the story of jack and the Beanstalk. It provides opportunities for the children to use food technology to create a healthy food product suitable for a character and link it to their storytelling.

Included:
• Planning
• Posters - text, pictures of various beans, recipes, sensory vocabulary
• Worksheets
• Target sheet (LO)

These activities encourage children to investigate different types of beans through text and looking closely at a variety of real beans, and learn why beans are part of a healthy food diet. They use recipes to practice how to make different bean salads. They taste and describe the appearance, taste and texture of each salad, and find out which one everyone liked best using a tally chart.
Children then design their own bean salad creating a new recipe, illustrating how their bean salad will look and taste, list ingredients and equipment, write in which order they will work using the recipe template, and record their evaluation.
They can illustrate a poster about eating their salad, and write about Jack’s mother eating the bean salad.
