A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the Year 3 Design and Technology (D&T) unit Cooking and Nutrition: Eating Seasonally.
This resource is designed to support children as they explore the concept of seasonal eating and its importance in promoting sustainability, health, and an understanding of where our food comes from. The pupils will learn that fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, and fibre and that their colours give clues about their nutritional content—for example, red foods provide vitamins A and C, while green foods are rich in iron, calcium, and B vitamins. The organiser includes key vocabulary such as seasonal, climate, import, export, peel, and texture, ensuring pupils build a robust understanding of terms they will encounter throughout the unit. Essential D&T skills like cutting, grating, peeling, spreading, and taste testing are also highlighted, allowing children to engage with practical food preparation tasks. By linking nutrition and sustainability, this organiser equips pupils with practical skills and insights into global food systems, encouraging them to make informed choices about what they eat.
