Food Groups
Open lesson slideshow
Objective
Recognise the main food groups and identify the ingredients in a simple combination food.
- I can sort familiar ingredients into food groups.
- I can name two groups in a combination food.
- I can help plan a snack within a pretend budget.
Preparation
- Print a five-group mat and eight ingredient cards per pair. Cards may stay uncut if cutting would add load.
- Read the pretend wrap and shop examples. Decide whether pupils need a two-choice group prompt, counters or adult scribing.
- Use paper resources throughout. If showing packaging, use clean photographs or images; any real-food extension needs a separate teacher check against school procedures and care plans.
Materials
- Pupil task sheet and group/card resource
- Pencils or highlighters
- Ten 10p counters per pair or calculator
- Five labelled spaces on a table; no food or cooking tools required
40-minute plan
| Time | Activity |
|---|
| 3 min | Settle, choose a response method and recognise an ingredient. |
| 6 min | Teach group names and model the potato/carrot distinction. |
| 8 min | Pairs sort eight ingredients and swap jobs. |
| 7 min | Model and complete the combination-wrap task. |
| 8 min | Plan a two-item snack with 100p and explain the check. |
| 5 min | Review examples and complete the exit check. |
| 3 min | Return cards and reset the workspace. |
Vocabulary
- ingredient: One of the foods used to make a dish.
- food group: A way of putting similar foods together in the Eatwell Guide.
- combination food: A dish made from ingredients from different groups.
- budget: The amount of money available to spend.
Model the task
Place potato with starchy foods and say “I am checking the ingredient, not its colour.” Then unpack the pretend wrap ingredient by ingredient. Model 50p + 40p using counters and physically leave 10p aside.
Support
Start with bread and apple and two named group areas. Read ingredient cards aloud. Accept pointing, placing, drawing, signing or an exact scribed explanation. Offer one step at a time and a quiet observation role.
Stretch
Add potato to the sort and justify its placement. Make two different snack pairs under 100p and calculate the difference between their totals. Do not add personal food questions.
Fallback
Use the worksheet without scissors, counters or a screen. The adult reads each item and pupils point to a printed group name. Model prices as tens on paper.
Safety and sensitive discussion
Keep examples fictional and prices invented. Avoid comments about pupils’ food, body, household resources or eating. There is no required tasting or food handling. Pass, observe and quiet participation are valid choices; discuss any disclosed concern privately through school procedures.
What to check
Observe one unaided or prompted ingredient match, recognition of two groups in the wrap and one check of the pretend budget. Record the actual response and assistance, for example “placed milk with dairy after two choices”. This is a classroom observation, not an accredited award decision.
Common misconceptions
- Potato is placed with starchy foods in this grouping, even though it grows as a vegetable.
- A combination food does not need one single group label; identify its ingredients.
- A food group is not a guarantee that a product is suitable for someone. Allergens and individual needs still require adult checks.
- These group cards do not set exact amounts or require every snack to include all groups.
Slide notes and answers
Slide 1: Food GroupsA calm arrival task, not a test of personal food choices. The upload provides snack, group-identification and process-log context; this lesson rebuilds that context as a preparation lesson.
Model answer: Accept any correctly identified ingredient; read each word aloud if needed.
Slide 2: Five group namesRead the five complete group examples from the resource. These are grouping tools, with variety considered across a day or week. Do not use colour to rank foods or ask pupils to describe what they eat.
Model answer: Starchy foods. Water is a drink; do not force it into one of these five groups.
Slide 3: Watch me sortModel reading, checking and placing. Do not sort by a food’s colour, packaging or where it grows.
Model answer: Fruit and vegetables. Potato is placed in starchy foods in this guide.
Slide 4: Your turn: sort eight cardsWorksheet task 1 supplies all eight items and all five group names. Offer two group choices at a time. A card placement is sufficient evidence.
Model answer: Lentils and egg. Bread/rice: starchy; apple/carrot: fruit and vegetables; milk: dairy; sunflower oil: oils and spreads.
Slide 5: A wrap contains several ingredientsThis is a paper example, not a recipe or permission to handle ingredients. Adaptation removes the uploaded health-colour shortcut and replaces it with ingredient evidence.
Model answer: Yoghurt. Bread wrap: starchy; chickpeas: protein; lettuce: fruit and vegetables.
Slide 6: Unpack the wrapWorksheet task 2. Credit ingredient-to-group explanations, including scribed responses. There is no tasting task.
Model answer: No. Its separate ingredients can belong to different groups.
Slide 7: A pretend snack shopAll prices are invented for this exercise. A calculator, 10p counters or adult scribing is appropriate. No pupil is asked about household spending.
Model answer: Yes: 50p + 40p = 90p, leaving 10p. They come from two different groups.
Slide 8: Show the thinkingReview worksheet task 3. Food groups describe ingredients; they do not grade a person or prove a dish is suitable for someone with an allergy.
Model answer: 30p + 40p = 70p. Fruit and vegetables plus dairy and alternatives. 30p remains.
Slide 9: One food, one groupAllow a private point-to-answer check. Record the support used. Reset is included in the lesson timing; no portfolio or accredited achievement is automatic.
Model answer: Dairy and alternatives. Yes: for example bread and cheese come from different groups.
Booklet answers
1. Sort the ingredientsBread and rice: starchy. Apple and carrot: fruit and vegetables. Lentils and egg: protein. Milk: dairy and alternatives. Sunflower oil: oils and spreads.
2. What is inside the wrap?Bread wrap: starchy. Chickpeas: protein. Lettuce: fruit and vegetables. Yoghurt: dairy and alternatives. Accept any two of these correct groups.
3. Work with a 100p budgetRoll + apple = 80p, 20p left; roll + yoghurt = 90p, 10p left; apple + yoghurt = 70p, 30p left. Each pair gives two groups. Credit checking the addition, budget or group match.
Exit checkDairy and alternatives. Yes: its ingredients may come from different groups.
Resource answers
Five-group mat and ingredient cards- Bread and rice → starchy foods.
- Apple and carrot → fruit and vegetables.
- Lentils and egg → protein foods.
- Milk → dairy and alternatives.
- Sunflower oil → oils and spreads.
- Water sits beside the five food groups.
Pretend wrap and snack-shop cards- Wrap: starchy, protein, fruit and vegetables, dairy and alternatives.
- Roll + apple: 80p, 20p remains.
- Roll + yoghurt: 90p, 10p remains.
- Apple + yoghurt: 70p, 30p remains.

A Balanced Plate
Open lesson slideshow
Objective
Use food groups to plan a simple meal, recognising variety across a day or week rather than requiring every group on every plate.
- I can identify groups in a mixed dish.
- I can plan a meal from a set of ingredient cards.
- I can explain a budget or teamwork choice.
Preparation
- Print the café cards and task sheet. Keep the prices visible while modelling addition.
- Plan flexible pair roles; an adult can be the partner where collaboration would increase distress.
- Read the fictional-day example in advance. Its purpose is group identification; it is not a quantified meal plan and must not become a pupil food diary.
Materials
- Pupil café planning sheet
- Group reference and café cards
- Pencils, counters or calculator
- Paper for drawing a meal; no food or cooking equipment needed
40-minute plan
| Time | Activity |
|---|
| 3 min | Settle and retrieve the rice food group. |
| 5 min | Explain variety across a day/week and model the rice bowl. |
| 7 min | Identify groups in three named dishes. |
| 5 min | Model the café brief, prices and worked total. |
| 10 min | Plan a café meal and swap planner/checker jobs. |
| 5 min | Sort the fictional-day ingredients and discuss the single-plate misconception. |
| 3 min | Exit explanation and specific feedback. |
| 2 min | Return resources and reset. |
Vocabulary
- variety: A range of different choices.
- plan: Decide what to do before starting.
- combine: Put ingredients together.
- balance: Looking at the range of food groups across a day or week.
Model the task
Put rice, beans and tomato cards together. Name each group, then count 40p + 40p + 30p = 110p and show 10p remaining from 120p. Say “This meets our café design brief.” Explicitly distinguish the exercise brief from a rule about every meal.
Support
Use just rice, beans and one vegetable card first. Provide a 120p counter mat and remove each cost in turn. Pupils may point, arrange, draw, sign or dictate. Read the fictional menu aloud and offer one group choice at a time.
Stretch
Create both the rice and roll versions and compare their totals. Explain how one dish contains more than one group, and identify the group represented once in the fictional-day example.
Fallback
Deliver from the paper sheet only. An adult draws three ingredient boxes and reads out the prices. Pupils can choose with eye gaze, pointing or speech; scribe the actual answer.
Safety and sensitive discussion
Avoid personal meal logs, public discussions of household budgets, food rankings and body-related explanations. Respect cultural choices, sensory preferences and pass/observe participation. Real cooking would require teacher-approved ingredients, allergen controls and individual care plans; this lesson has no required food contact or tasting.
What to check
Check a mixed-dish group match, a plan meeting the fictional brief, and one reason grounded in cost or group evidence. Record the planner/checker action observed and assistance given. Invite a choice of card size or role for next time and acknowledge how it will be used.
Common misconceptions
- A single meal does not have to show all five groups; the wider day or week matters.
- Food colour cannot establish its group or suitability. Read the named ingredient.
- Spending exactly the full budget is allowed, but spending less also meets the brief.
- A paper plan records planning. It must not be recorded as an observed cooking or safe-tool achievement.
Slide notes and answers
Slide 1: A Balanced PlateThe route title is retained from the existing sequence. The uploaded snack lesson informs group identification, assembly order and process reflection; this lesson is a planning rehearsal and does not claim a practical was completed.
Model answer: Starchy foods.
Slide 2: Look across a day or weekUse the NHS Eatwell Guide principle in neutral planning language. Do not ask pupils to record or evaluate their own meals; the fictional café plan provides the context.
Model answer: No. Consider the pattern across a day or week.
Slide 3: Watch me unpack a mealModel three labelled ingredient cards. Beans are placed with protein foods for this activity. The bowl is an example, not a prescribed portion or a requirement for everyone to eat.
Model answer: Beans.
Slide 4: Three dishes, several groupsWorksheet task 1. Read the listed ingredients exactly. Do not infer ingredients from an unprovided recipe or picture.
Model answer: Porridge includes milk; the sandwich includes cheese. Both are valid answers.
Slide 5: Plan the café specialAll ingredient prices are illustrative portion costs, not real shop offers. The three-group task is a design brief for this exercise, not a rule for every plate. School tap water costs are not being calculated.
Model answer: Rice costs 10p less.
Slide 6: Choose, add and checkWorksheet task 2 contains every price and option. Use counters or a calculator. Credit any offered combination that meets the brief, including a roll meal at exactly 120p.
Model answer: Yes: 40p + 40p + 30p = 110p, with 10p left.
Slide 7: Give everyone a useful jobRehearse a respectful request. Work can be individual with an adult as partner. No pupil must handle or taste food, and no physical guidance is imposed.
Model answer: “Let us add the prices again” or “Can we use the counters?”
Slide 8: One plan, different possibilitiesWorksheet task 3 uses this complete fictional menu. It explores ingredient variety only: the list does not specify sufficient amounts, individual suitability or a full meal recommendation.
Model answer: The rapeseed oil in the soup.
Slide 9: Show one decisionAccept a short reason supported by the pupil’s plan. Record what the pupil actually did, not an automatic evidence-bank statement.
Model answer: No. Rice is starchy and beans are protein foods; variety is considered across a day or week.
Booklet answers
1. Name the groups inside each dishPorridge: starchy plus dairy. Jacket potato: starchy plus protein. Sandwich: starchy, dairy, fruit and vegetables.
2. Design a pretend café mealRice + beans + either vegetable costs 110p, leaving 10p. Roll + beans + either vegetable costs 120p, leaving 0p. Water does not change the exercise total. Credit correctly matched groups and a clear role action.
3. Find variety across an example dayStarchy: oats, rice, potato. Dairy: milk. Protein: beans, lentils. Fruit and vegetables: tomatoes, carrots. Oils and spreads: rapeseed oil. No: think across a day or week, not only one plate.
Exit checkAccept a correct group, cost, preference in the fictional brief or teamwork reason. No: consider variety across a day or week.
Resource answers
Café planning cards- Either rice version: 110p; 10p remains.
- Either roll version: 120p; no money remains.
- All four offered meals meet this exercise’s three-group brief.
Group reference and fictional-day menu- Oats, rice and potato: starchy foods.
- Milk: dairy and alternatives.
- Beans and lentils: protein foods.
- Tomatoes and carrots: fruit and vegetables.
- Rapeseed oil: oils and spreads.
- All five groups appear across this fictional example; they do not all appear in every dish.

Reading Labels
Open lesson slideshow
Objective
Find important label information and compare the same measure on two fictional labels, asking an adult when suitability is uncertain.
- I can find ingredients, dates and storage instructions.
- I can explain a use-by warning and an allergen-check action.
- I can compare the same measure on two labels.
Preparation
- Print fictional labels A/B large enough to read; MILK and CELERY are emphasised with capitals in this teaching format.
- Use the stated October 2026 scenario dates. Display “Pretend today…” on each case so the activity does not depend on the real lesson date.
- Read the dated-food and allergen teaching notes. Keep all tasks paper based; pupil label skills never replace staff ingredient approval, allergen controls or individual care plans.
Materials
- Two full fictional label extracts per pupil/pair
- Three date/storage case cards
- Pupil worksheet, pencil or highlighter
- Calculator or 10p/20p counters for price comparison; no edible samples
40-minute plan
| Time | Activity |
|---|
| 3 min | Settle and locate an ingredients-list example. |
| 6 min | Model ingredients, highlighted allergen and storage checks. |
| 5 min | Explain use-by versus best before using one dated case. |
| 7 min | Complete Label A information hunt. |
| 7 min | Read and decide the three date/storage cases. |
| 7 min | Compare the two per-100g values and equal-size prices. |
| 3 min | Exit safety action and corrective feedback. |
| 2 min | Return labels and reset. |
Vocabulary
- allergen: Something that can cause an allergic reaction in a person who is allergic to it.
- use-by: A date used for food safety.
- best before: A date used for food quality.
- per 100g: The amount in 100 grams, used for a like-for-like comparison.
- storage: How and where a product must be kept.
Model the task
Trace the Label A ingredients with a finger to MILK. Trace the date words before reading the date. Read the storage and after-opening statements in full. Then align the two per-100g lines: 0.60g and 0.30g. Explain only what those numbers establish, and separately identify Label B’s CELERY warning.
Support
Offer one enlarged label at a time and read the exact wording aloud. Use separate prompts: ingredients, date, storage. Accept pointing, signing, circling or scribing. For the comparison, use 0.60/0.30 as 60/30 hundredths only if decimals are accessible; otherwise let the adult identify the values and ask the pupil to choose the matching smaller-value card.
Stretch
Explain why A’s 200g and B’s 300g portion lines cannot be compared as equal portions. Calculate the 0.30g difference in salt per 100g and the 20p price difference, then state one safety question these figures cannot answer.
Fallback
Read the labels from the printed resource. Pupils point to a date, ingredient or storage line. Use the date cases orally and record their exact decision. No internet, photographs, packaging or food is required.
Safety and sensitive discussion
Use fictional allergy scenarios without inviting disclosure. Follow existing school care plans and food procedures for any real products. Keep food-contact and tasting optional and outside this paper lesson. Do not rank pupils’ choices or ask about personal eating, bodies or household shopping. Refer a real uncertainty to the responsible adult.
What to check
Record whether the pupil located an ingredient warning, date and storage line; distinguished one safety-date case from the quality-date case; and compared matching units. Correct “smells fine means safe” before closing. Note actual support and avoid recording paper rehearsal as successful food preparation or formal accreditation.
Common misconceptions
- A tomato picture does not mean a soup contains only tomatoes; the ingredient list here includes milk.
- The 14 regulated allergens are not the only possible allergies. Absence of highlighted words or a “may contain” warning does not prove suitability.
- Use-by is about safety and best before about quality. For these never-cooked/never-frozen cases, do not eat after use-by even if smell or appearance seems normal.
- Poor storage can create a problem before the date. A date on its own does not prove a product is safe.
- A smaller per-100g salt value or price is a numerical fact, not a judgement about the entire food or a person’s needs.
Slide notes and answers
Slide 1: Reading LabelsRe-authored from existing FW_W3_Reading_Labels.html. Retains locating information and comparing labels; replaces food ranking, colour shortcuts and automatic accredited-evidence language. No uploaded file is claimed as a W3 source.
Model answer: The ingredients list.
Slide 2: Three checks before using foodUse the full fictional label resource. Label reading is one safety step; it cannot verify actual storage, personal suitability or cross-contact controls.
Model answer: No. Find the written ingredients, date and storage instructions too.
Slide 3: Spot the ingredient warningFor relevant prepacked food, any of the 14 regulated allergens used as ingredients must be emphasised; capitals are the teaching format here. Other foods can cause allergies. No emphasised allergen, or no “may contain”, does not prove suitability.
Model answer: No. The ingredients include milk. Stop and ask the responsible adult.
Slide 4: Two dates, different jobsUse the dated paper scenario, not today’s actual date. Timely cooking/freezing can create different rules, but pupils are not making those decisions; the cases explicitly exclude this. See the dated-food resource.
Model answer: Do not eat it. Tell the adult; normal smell does not change the use-by warning.
Slide 5: Find it on Label AWorksheet task 1 repeats the full teaching extract. Dates alone do not establish safety if the product was stored incorrectly. No food is opened in this lesson.
Model answer: Use within 24 hours and before the end of the use-by date. Follow whichever deadline comes first.
Slide 6: Date and storage detectivesRead all three full case cards, including their fictional dates and storage history. Case 2 is a quality-date discussion; pupils do not taste to test or declare it suitable.
Model answer: Case 3. The storage instructions were not followed. Stop and tell the adult.
Slide 7: Compare the same measureKeep comparison factual. Do not describe a whole product as better for a person. Values and prices are invented. The different per-portion values are an optional same-unit challenge.
Model answer: B: 0.30g per 100g is less than A: 0.60g per 100g. B is also 20p cheaper for the same pack mass.
Slide 8: Read, compare, askWorksheet task 3. Credit identifying the limitation of the comparison. Do not treat missing emphasised ingredients as an allergy clearance.
Model answer: No. It says “May contain CELERY”. Stop and ask the responsible adult; do not select it for that person.
Slide 9: One label decisionTeacher reviews the distinction between date types, then resets the resources. No pupil needs to disclose an allergy, handle packaging or taste food.
Model answer: Stop and tell an adult. It is past its use-by date; normal appearance or smell cannot establish safety.
Booklet answers
1. Find the informationMILK; 8 October 2026; refrigerated at 5°C or below; within 24 hours after opening and before the end of the use-by date. The earlier deadline applies.
2. Choose the next action1: safety date; do not eat and tell the adult. Smell does not change the use-by warning. 2: quality date; ask an adult to check storage, packaging and suitability, without pupil tasting. 3: storage; stop and tell the adult, even though the use-by date has not passed.
3. Make a fair comparisonB shows less salt per 100g: 0.30g versus 0.60g. B costs 20p less for 400g. Portions are different sizes, so use per 100g for a direct comparison. B has a celery warning: do not select it for that customer; ask the responsible adult. These figures cannot determine personal suitability.
Exit checkDo not eat it. Stop and tell the adult; normal smell does not override a use-by date.
Resource answers
Fictional labels A and B- A contains MILK as an ingredient. B warns “May contain CELERY”.
- Both require refrigeration at 5°C or below. After opening, follow 24 hours and the use-by date, whichever ends first.
- B has 0.30g salt per 100g; A has 0.60g per 100g. B’s figure is smaller.
- Both packs are 400g; B is 20p cheaper. This is no evidence of allergy suitability.
Date and storage case cards- Case 1: do not eat; tell the adult. It is after use-by and was never cooked or frozen.
- Case 2: best before concerns quality; an adult checks the product, storage, packaging and suitability. Pupils do not taste-test it.
- Case 3: stop and tell the adult. The storage instruction was not followed, so the future use-by date does not resolve the concern.
Teacher reference: allergen and date checks- Expected pupil action when information or suitability is uncertain: stop and ask the responsible adult.
- Do not infer overall safety from date, packaging pictures, colour, price or a single numerical comparison.

Kitchen hygiene and safety
Open lesson slideshow
Objective
Follow a hygiene routine, recognise hazards and practise an agreed tool skill safely.
- I can show the handwashing and ready-to-work routine.
- I can stop and ask before an unsafe action.
- I can explain how one rule protects the team.
Preparation
- Check actual ingredient labels, use-by dates, storage instructions and individual plans; agree any substitution before the session.
- Prepare handwashing, clean worktops, separate clean utensils and waste area; adult manages cleaning chemicals according to the product label.
- Keep chilled ingredients at 0–5°C until needed; check the fridge thermometer. Return unused chilled ingredients promptly and follow pack opening instructions.
- Set up only the tools approved for this class. Have banana pieces or a non-food model ready; no heat, grater or peeler is required.
Materials
- Soap, water, disposable towels, aprons and adult-managed cleaning supplies.
- Stable boards, approved table knife, banana or safe practice model, printed routine and hazard cards.
40-minute plan
| Time | Activity |
|---|
| 3 min | Settle, choose role and recall safety. |
| 7 min | Demonstrate routine and tool stop/placement. |
| 7 min | Read and sort hazard situations. |
| 12 min | Supervised circuit and observation. |
| 5 min | Record and explain the process. |
| 4 min | Adult checks tools are accounted for and manages washing sharp items separately; pupils wash safe utensils, clear waste, clean the workspace as directed and wash hands. |
| 2 min | Individual exit check. |
Vocabulary
- hygiene: Actions that help keep food and equipment clean.
- hazard: Something that could cause harm.
- cross-contact: An allergen moving from one food or surface to another.
- supervision: An adult checking and supporting the activity.
Model the task
Think aloud while washing, checking the board and parking the table knife. Deliberately narrate a stop when information is missing; never stage a real unsafe action.
Support
BUILD core: one instruction at a time, two hazard choices and an agreed observer or practical role. Adults prepare food pieces and maintain direct tool supervision. Accept pointing, sequencing, demonstration and scribing.
Stretch
Explain two ways a used spoon could contaminate ready-to-eat food and describe separate prevention steps.
Fallback
Complete the written hazard sort and rehearse the routine without ingredients. Model safe tool placement using a printed tool card; label this as simulation.
Safety and sensitive discussion
Check the school risk assessment, pupil food/allergy and swallowing plans privately, and actual ingredient labels before the lesson. Use the school response plan if anyone becomes unwell. An adult approves substitutions and supervises tool work. No tasting or food contact is required: observer, reader or recorder roles count. Never force physical guidance; agree support and use demonstration, adapted tools or adult preparation. Do not record identifiable pupil details in website files.
What to check
Observe the hygiene sequence, response to stop cue and safe tool placement. Record independent, prompted or not yet shown. A correct spoken safety explanation can be credited separately from an observed practical skill.
Common misconceptions
- An apron alone does not make food work hygienic.
- A visible clean surface does not prove an allergen is absent.
- Completing today’s check does not qualify a pupil to use tools unsupervised.
Slide notes and answers
Slide 1: Kitchen hygiene and safetyAdapted from uploaded W1 hygiene/tools and process log. Replaces a “kitchen licence” with observation of today’s skills. No award claim. Enriches existing BUILD module lesson 4 using uploaded FoodWise week 1.
Model answer: A clear plan, clean hands/equipment and adult approval.
Slide 2: A clean-looking table?Use the written situation; no missing hazard photograph is needed.
Model answer: No. Tell the adult, clear and clean the food surface correctly, then wash hands.
Slide 3: Our ready routineAdult demonstrates all stages. Adult manages cleaning products and contact times; do not spray near exposed food.
Model answer: Pause, wash and dry hands before food work resumes.
Slide 4: A tool has a safe placeCorrects uploaded carry-point-down advice. This pack does not teach pupil knife transport.
Model answer: Stop, set it flat safely and ask the adult.
Slide 5: Watch: slice, pause, parkUse the school-approved bridge/claw demonstration appropriate to the tool and pupil. Do not prescribe sharp knives. Observation or pre-cut ingredients are equal access routes.
Model answer: A safe hold, small cut, pause and safe placement are valid responses.
Slide 6: Ready, pause or ask?Use the six situation cards for additional practice. Allergens cannot be checked by smell or appearance.
Model answer: A: ready if approved. B: stop and ask for checked food/clean tools. C: pause, keep others clear and tell the adult.
Slide 7: Safety circuitTwo short rotations or seated stations. No hand-over-hand requirement; adult supervision continues throughout.
Model answer: For example: “You parked the knife before asking a question.”
Slide 8: Record the processKeep records factual. A previous successful task does not remove the need for supervision.
Model answer: For example: wash after touching hair; keep equipment separate; stop and ask.
Slide 9: Stop is a useful skillCheck each pupil individually by pointing, speaking, drawing or scribing.
Model answer: Keep hands out, stop and tell the adult.
Booklet answers
1. My ready routineAll three are needed before food work; record support accurately.
2. Fix a hazardWash and dry hands; keep hands out and tell adult; stop and ask adult for separately prepared food and clean equipment.
3. Explain a ruleWashing reduces contamination; unfamiliar food may not match a person’s agreed allergy plan. Accept accurate simple explanations.
Exit checkNo. Check cleaning and allergen cross-contact with the adult.
Resource answers
Kitchen routine | Read, show, check- Look for the action, prompt given and safe response. Praise stopping and asking for help. No pupil should receive unsupervised tool access because a previous task was completed.
Six kitchen situation cards- A: Ready if the individual plan and actual ingredients are approved.
- B: Pause; wash and dry hands before touching food. Replace food or utensils already contaminated as directed.
- C: Stop; keep hands out and tell the adult so they can retrieve it safely.
- D: Stop; do not use it. Ask the adult for separately prepared food and clean equipment under the agreed plan.
- E: Pause; keep people away and alert the adult so the spill can be cleared safely.
- F: Do not use it. Smell cannot establish safety after a use-by date.

Model the task
Model zeroing scales with the dish already on, adding 50 g, then zeroing for the next ingredient. Show a jug on a level surface and reading at eye level.
Support
BUILD core: adult-prepared fruit and pre-portioned bowls if needed, one large method card at a time, a choice of two amounts and reader/maker/checker roles. Accept directing a partner; keep practical observation distinct from simulation.
Stretch
Calculate the fruit and yoghurt amounts for two equal practice pots; explain how the checker can prevent an error without taking over.
Fallback
Use labelled paper ingredient cards to assemble a planned portion, then practise measuring 150 ml water. Record simulated steps honestly; the full lesson is offline.
Safety and sensitive discussion
Check the school risk assessment, pupil food/allergy and swallowing plans privately, and actual ingredient labels before the lesson. Use the school response plan if anyone becomes unwell. An adult approves substitutions and supervises tool work. No tasting or food contact is required: observer, reader or recorder roles count. Never force physical guidance; agree support and use demonstration, adapted tools or adult preparation. Do not record identifiable pupil details in website files.
What to check
Record a hygiene action, accurate measure with unit and tool, useful communication, and reset. Credit explanation or observer work separately from direct food handling.
Common misconceptions
- A substitute labelled plant-based is not automatically suitable for an allergy.
- Food colour does not prove safety, suitability or overall nutritional quality.
- The number on scales includes the bowl unless zeroed.
Slide notes and answers
Slide 1: Prepare a snack and drinkAdapted from uploaded W2 and log. Replaces colour/food moralising and a missing blender recipe with a full cold method. Enriches existing BUILD module lesson 5 with uploaded week 2 preparation and week 3 read–do–check sequencing.
Model answer: Adult checks the actual labels and agreed plans; team completes the hygiene routine.
Slide 2: Know what is in itUse food-group terms neutrally; avoid comparison of pupils’ eating or family food.
Model answer: No. Check ingredients, storage and the agreed plan.
Slide 3: Read before you swapMILK and SOYA are examples of allergens; a substitution is not automatically suitable.
Model answer: Stop; the adult checks the full new label and the person’s agreed plan.
Slide 4: Our amounts for oneAdult opens and drains tins in advance. Amounts are for a practice portion, not personal intake advice.
Model answer: Millilitres, written ml.
Slide 5: Watch the measuringDemonstrate one correct and one misread jug position without asking pupils to lift a jug to face height.
Model answer: So we measure the ingredient, not the dish.
Slide 6: Read, make, checkAllow 14 minutes with pre-drained fruit. No shared tasting spoons, skewers or blender.
Model answer: “The recipe says 50 g. Let’s check the display before moving on.”
Slide 7: Look at the evidenceNever make eating, trying a new food or describing personal preferences a success condition.
Model answer: Measure more accurately, keep oatcake separate, check steps or arrange the portion securely.
Slide 8: Record and resetProtect reset time even when practical work is incomplete.
Model answer: For example: reading the amount helped the maker weigh the correct ingredient.
Slide 9: One amount, one checkAccept pointing to the jug/scales and ingredient card.
Model answer: Stop and ask the adult; do not guess or taste to check.
Booklet answers
1. My makeAccept an accurate labelled record without a photo; no tasting evidence needed.
2. Measure and checkYoghurt 50 g/scales; water 150 ml/measuring jug for this recipe; zero/tare.
3. Read, do, checkRoutine; fruit; yoghurt/oatcake; water. Accept an accurate description of reader, maker, checker or recorder.
Exit checkNo. Safe preparation, measuring, communication and reviewing the process are assessed.
Resource answers
Recipe | Fruit pot, oatcake and water- Food groups in this example: banana/mandarin = fruit and vegetables; oatcake = starchy foods; yoghurt = dairy and alternatives. Water is a drink, not one of the five food groups.
- Observe wash, measure, prepare/assemble and reset; assess the process even if a pupil does not eat or handle the ingredients.
Kitchen routine | Read, show, check- Look for the action, prompt given and safe response. Praise stopping and asking for help. No pupil should receive unsupervised tool access because a previous task was completed.

Plan a meal to a brief
Open lesson slideshow
Objective
Plan a fictional meal using food groups, a budget and safe preparation checks, then evaluate the plan.
- I can choose components that fit the fictional brief.
- I can add the given costs and identify preparation checks.
- I can explain one change using evidence.
Preparation
- Print complete wrap recipe, illustrative cost cards and fictional brief.
- Prepare component word cards or drawing boxes; use empty clean packaging or printed examples, not real food, for this planning lesson.
- Explain that all prices are invented and no real shopping or making is required today.
Materials
- Full wrap recipe, illustrative price cards, paper, pencils, scissors for adult-cut cards, optional calculator.
40-minute plan
| Time | Activity |
|---|
| 3 min | Recall food groups and introduce fictional club. |
| 6 min | Read brief and choose components. |
| 7 min | Model 125p cost and alternative. |
| 12 min | Create a component, cost and safe-order plan. |
| 6 min | Evaluate against the brief and improve one point. |
| 4 min | Return cards, clear desks and organise plans. |
| 2 min | Individual exit check. |
Vocabulary
- plan: Decide steps and resources before making.
- budget: The money limit for a task.
- component: One part of the meal.
- evaluate: Check a plan or product against its brief.
Model the task
Build a fictional plan aloud, total 70p + 30p + 25p, compare with 150p and circle the missing real label check. Show that a correct sum cannot answer an allergy question.
Support
BUILD: use three component cards, preprinted amounts, 10p/5p counters or a calculator, and two verdict choices before introducing need evidence. Allow pointing, drawing, oral response and scribing.
Stretch
Compare the £1.25 plan with the £1.40 alternative, explain what evidence each needs, then calculate two lunch sets. Derive wrap costs from whole packs if appropriate.
Fallback
All materials are printed and the core lesson is already a non-food offline task. Adult can read and scribe while the pupil selects component cards.
Safety and sensitive discussion
Check the school risk assessment, pupil food/allergy and swallowing plans privately, and actual ingredient labels before the lesson. Use the school response plan if anyone becomes unwell. An adult approves substitutions and supervises tool work. No tasting or food contact is required: observer, reader or recorder roles count. Never force physical guidance; agree support and use demonstration, adapted tools or adult preparation. Do not record identifiable pupil details in website files.
What to check
Check an accurate fictional plan, correct supported calculation, sensible sequence, a distinct adult approval check and one evidence-based improvement. Do not score personal food preferences or infer practical competence from planning.
Common misconceptions
- A menu is a plan, not evidence of food handling.
- Meeting the cost limit does not establish safety.
- The supplied £1.25 is an invented ingredient-used cost, not a current shopping bill.
Slide notes and answers
Slide 1: Plan a meal to a briefEnriches existing BUILD FoodWise module lesson 6 with uploaded W3 recipe reading and W4 evaluation. This is a menu task, not a judgement of pupils’ meals.
Model answer: Clear components, amounts, steps, costs and safety checks.
Slide 2: The club’s briefThe brief is fictional; individual food plans and portions are not prescribed.
Model answer: No more than £1.50 for the supplied ingredients used.
Slide 3: Choose and name componentsFood groups identify ingredients; no moral ranking or requirement to disclose personal food.
Model answer: Tortilla: starchy foods. Chickpeas: protein foods. Cucumber: fruit and vegetables. Soft cheese: dairy and alternatives.
Slide 4: Add the given costsDo not confuse a proportionate ingredient cost with buying whole packets. All prices are fictional.
Model answer: No: 140p + 30p + 25p = 195p = £1.95.
Slide 5: Check the changed planTeaches that meeting the budget does not establish ingredient suitability.
Model answer: The new total is 140p, within budget. Ingredient suitability still needs adult evidence before making.
Slide 6: Make a workable orderRefer to the complete wrap recipe for full ingredient amounts, tools and seven steps.
Model answer: B, A, C.
Slide 7: Build the lunch planNo actual lunch is made in this lesson; planning can direct a later authorised practical.
Model answer: They should be able to locate components, quantities, costs, sequence and adult checks.
Slide 8: Evaluate and improveUse fictional plans if learners prefer; comparisons are about the work, not personal choices.
Model answer: Neither. Use the sum, labels and preparation plan as evidence.
Slide 9: A plan you can testAccept a clear short answer using a card or adult scribe; no personal disclosure needed.
Model answer: The adult checks current labels, individual plans, storage, equipment and the school risk assessment.
Booklet answers
1. Plan one fictional lunch setAccept accurate plan. Starchy foods, protein foods, fruit and vegetables, dairy and alternatives are represented.
2. Check the budget125p/£1.25; 25p remains; alternative total 140p. All costs are invented ingredients-used data.
3. Evaluate the planComponents, stated cost and order met. Actual ingredient approval needs evidence; pause until adult checks the label and agreed plan.
Exit checkNo. Ingredients, allergy plans, hygiene, equipment and storage still need checks.
Resource answers
Recipe | Chickpea and cucumber wrap- Two wraps need 2 tortillas, 80 g chickpeas, 60 g cucumber and 30 g soft cheese.
- The measurable process is read, do, check and tick. The adult records demonstrated food skills separately from simulated planning.
Cost cards | Illustrative classroom data- Tortilla: 150p ÷ 6 = 25p. Chickpeas: 120p ÷ 6 = 20p. Cucumber: 100p ÷ 10 = 10p. Soft cheese: 200p × 15 ÷ 200 = 15p.
- One wrap: 25p + 20p + 10p + 15p = 70p. Two wraps: £1.40. Whole four packs: £1.50 + £1.20 + £1.00 + £2.00 = £5.70; unused ingredients remain.
- Wrap, apple and yoghurt: 70p + 30p + 25p = £1.25. Two such fictional lunch sets cost £2.50 in ingredients used.
