A foldable designed to engage learners studies nutrient groups. The end result is the student having a fold out resource either in their books or as an external interactive version. There is space left on the sections so you as the teacher have autonomy to instruct your learners to fill in as you wish - I always make sure that when I teach it my learners have included the nutrient group name, functions, examples of foods which contain the nutrients . Also included are 2 worksheets. a factfile research task which could also be used as a homework and a visual hexagon activity in which students are required to make links between the pictures and to explain why each one is important.

An excel based tracker that enables you to copy and paste students names in and if they belong to any disadvantaged groups. You can then then add details on from reports such as their A2L average, how many subjects off track, progress scores in Literacy and Numeracy or English and Maths. It will just be a case of adding in extra columns. The 1->5 columns are where you add interventions and once added this will change the colour of the names so it is easy to highlight and target key students and key groups.
