DT – Focus: Food Included: • Planning • Posters - text, cereal bars fact sheets , recipe, sensory vocabulary • Worksheets • Target sheet (LO) These activities encourage children to investigate different types of commercial cereal bars through text and tasting, and compare them describing their appearance, texture, smell and taste. They learn why cereal bars are not as healthy. They look at food labels to compare nutritional benefits and allergy advise. They follow a basic no bake/ no nuts recipe for making 2 different types of cereal bars, compare them and find out which one everyone liked best using a tally chart. Children then design their own cereal bars creating a new recipe, illustrate how their cereal bars will look and taste, list ingredients and equipment, write in which order they will work using the recipe template, and record their evaluation. For additional Design and Technology resources, please check my shop Marie’s Teaching Resources :) For updates go to my Facebook page – Marie’s Teaching Resources Thanks for looking :)
