The resources aim to help pupils to think about the types of foods that are in season at this time of the year and then make dishes using these types of foods.
How does the activity link to the Active Kids Get Cooking Challenges?
The resources give you recipes and design ideas to work on the following Challenges:
The Active Kids Get Cooking Primary Food Award
Eat more fruit and vegetables Award: Plan and make a tasty dish to encourage people to eat more fruits and vegetables. Try the layered coleslaw for this Challenge.
Exploring healthier lunchboxes Award
Make a super salad for a lunchbox that you would share with your friends; make a savoury dish that could be included in a lunchbox. These could be the layered coleslaw, the autumn roasted vegetable soup or the savoury muffins.
Discovering bread and bread products Award
Make a batch of bread for a lunchbox – why not make some bread to go with the autumn roasted vegetable soup?
Cooking healthily Award
Make foods for a school picnic which promotes healthy eating for themselves and their parents/carers. Try the layered coleslaw, beetroot and chocolate muffins or sausage and apple catherine wheels here.
The presentations will help your children with some ideas to start planning these Challenges. The design sheets will also help them to record their thoughts as they work through the Challenge.
