Identifying Food Groups (Eat-Well Guide)

A PowerPoint presentation taking the children through the different food groups and helping them to identify foods in the groups.

SUCCESS CRITERIA WAS CO-CREATED

Learning tasks to go along with the presentation included having different simple recipes printed and the children to then place the ingredients in the correct group. Differentiated by having unlabeled food groups for independent workers down to having some children cut and stick pictures of the food in the correct labeled group.

A second follow up lesson from this was to create a day of eating which ticked all the food groups in correct portion. Some children created a week of eating, some a couple of days, and some just one day. Food was highlighted or underlined in the correct colour to match the group.
