Food Groups

Open lesson slideshow

Objective

Recognise the main food groups and identify the ingredients in a simple combination food.

Preparation

Materials

40-minute plan

TimeActivity
3 minSettle, choose a response method and recognise an ingredient.
6 minTeach group names and model the potato/carrot distinction.
8 minPairs sort eight ingredients and swap jobs.
7 minModel and complete the combination-wrap task.
8 minPlan a two-item snack with 100p and explain the check.
5 minReview examples and complete the exit check.
3 minReturn cards and reset the workspace.

Vocabulary

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

Slide notes and answers

Slide 1: Food Groups

A 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 names

Read 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 sort

Model 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 cards

Worksheet 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 ingredients

This 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 wrap

Worksheet 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 shop

All 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 thinking

Review 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 group

Allow 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 ingredients

Bread 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 budget

Roll + 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 check

Dairy 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.

Preparation

Materials

40-minute plan

TimeActivity
3 minSettle and retrieve the rice food group.
5 minExplain variety across a day/week and model the rice bowl.
7 minIdentify groups in three named dishes.
5 minModel the café brief, prices and worked total.
10 minPlan a café meal and swap planner/checker jobs.
5 minSort the fictional-day ingredients and discuss the single-plate misconception.
3 minExit explanation and specific feedback.
2 minReturn resources and reset.

Vocabulary

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

Slide notes and answers

Slide 1: A Balanced Plate

The 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 week

Use 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 meal

Model 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 groups

Worksheet 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 special

All 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 check

Worksheet 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 job

Rehearse 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 possibilities

Worksheet 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 decision

Accept 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 dish

Porridge: starchy plus dairy. Jacket potato: starchy plus protein. Sandwich: starchy, dairy, fruit and vegetables.

2. Design a pretend café meal

Rice + 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 day

Starchy: 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 check

Accept 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.

Preparation

Materials

40-minute plan

TimeActivity
3 minSettle and locate an ingredients-list example.
6 minModel ingredients, highlighted allergen and storage checks.
5 minExplain use-by versus best before using one dated case.
7 minComplete Label A information hunt.
7 minRead and decide the three date/storage cases.
7 minCompare the two per-100g values and equal-size prices.
3 minExit safety action and corrective feedback.
2 minReturn labels and reset.

Vocabulary

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

Slide notes and answers

Slide 1: Reading Labels

Re-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 food

Use 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 warning

For 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 jobs

Use 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 A

Worksheet 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 detectives

Read 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 measure

Keep 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, ask

Worksheet 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 decision

Teacher 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 information

MILK; 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 action

1: 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 comparison

B 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 check

Do 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.

Preparation

Materials

40-minute plan

TimeActivity
3 minSettle, choose role and recall safety.
7 minDemonstrate routine and tool stop/placement.
7 minRead and sort hazard situations.
12 minSupervised circuit and observation.
5 minRecord and explain the process.
4 minAdult 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 minIndividual exit check.

Vocabulary

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

Slide notes and answers

Slide 1: Kitchen hygiene and safety

Adapted 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 routine

Adult 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 place

Corrects 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, park

Use 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 circuit

Two 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 process

Keep 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 skill

Check each pupil individually by pointing, speaking, drawing or scribing.

Model answer: Keep hands out, stop and tell the adult.

Booklet answers

1. My ready routine

All three are needed before food work; record support accurately.

2. Fix a hazard

Wash and dry hands; keep hands out and tell adult; stop and ask adult for separately prepared food and clean equipment.

3. Explain a rule

Washing reduces contamination; unfamiliar food may not match a person’s agreed allergy plan. Accept accurate simple explanations.

Exit check

No. 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.

Vocabulary

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

Slide notes and answers

Slide 1: Prepare a snack and drink

Adapted 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 it

Use 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 swap

MILK 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 one

Adult 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 measuring

Demonstrate 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, check

Allow 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 evidence

Never 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 reset

Protect 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 check

Accept 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 make

Accept an accurate labelled record without a photo; no tasting evidence needed.

2. Measure and check

Yoghurt 50 g/scales; water 150 ml/measuring jug for this recipe; zero/tare.

3. Read, do, check

Routine; fruit; yoghurt/oatcake; water. Accept an accurate description of reader, maker, checker or recorder.

Exit check

No. 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.

Objective

Plan a fictional meal using food groups, a budget and safe preparation checks, then evaluate the plan.

Preparation

Materials

40-minute plan

TimeActivity
3 minRecall food groups and introduce fictional club.
6 minRead brief and choose components.

12 minCreate a component, cost and safe-order plan.
6 minEvaluate against the brief and improve one point.
4 minReturn cards, clear desks and organise plans.
2 minIndividual exit check.

Vocabulary

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

Slide notes and answers

Slide 1: Plan a meal to a brief

Enriches 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 brief

The 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 components

Food 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 costs

Do 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 plan

Teaches 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 order

Refer to the complete wrap recipe for full ingredient amounts, tools and seven steps.

Model answer: B, A, C.

Slide 7: Build the lunch plan

No 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 improve

Use 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 test

Accept 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 set

Accept accurate plan. Starchy foods, protein foods, fruit and vegetables, dairy and alternatives are represented.

2. Check the budget

125p/£1.25; 25p remains; alternative total 140p. All costs are invented ingredients-used data.

3. Evaluate the plan

Components, stated cost and order met. Actual ingredient approval needs evidence; pause until adult checks the label and agreed plan.

Exit check

No. 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.
