what type of food activity?

[victoriawade]

im being assessed soon on a food activity........

im working with year 5s that are 8-9 and it has to last no more than 10 mins...... i really dont know what to do? my assessor said to make a fruit salad, but i cant imagine making it with the 1s in the class?? would that not be abit babyish? just wondering is there anything else that i could do?

thanks for helping

sandwiches. why does it last only 10 minutes??

Hiya, I agree sandwiches are good as is Fruit salad. If you feel confident delivering an activty that looks at nutrition there shouldn't be any reason for the children or anyone to consider it below them

Festive fruit salad - let the children peel and segment their own satsuma/oranges or clementines, add grapes - halved or whole and a few dried cranberries.

Walnuts & hazelnuts would be nice to include but you'd need to check whole school policy for allergy sufferers and what budget you have. You could also include a selection of orange segments that have been sprinkled with a christmas associated spice - cinnamon & nutmeg maybe and let everyone sample a piece. If looking at starch/carbohydrates/proteins/fats/sugars & fibre serve with a small coin sized spiced cookie ..

Use small individual cups and if possible, ask if you can plan for a little more than 10 minutes.

Hth have fun with it

hi

i have to provide the ingredients....im back in class tomorrow so i could ask the children then, which they would prefer to make and think about what i'll need to buy. its not until jan, the idea with nuts is good, but the only person in the school with a nut allergy is in the class i work in! ive never done anything like this before, so i'll be panicking when it comes closer to the time

If you bring in sensory experiences too, perhaps you assessor might stay longer than 10 mins
