Learning objective
- To understand the benefits of healthy eating and dental health
Statutory guidance
Pupils should know:
- What constitutes a healthy diet (including understanding calories and other nutritional content).
- The characteristics of a poor diet and risks associated with unhealthy eating (including, for example, obesity and tooth decay) and other behaviours (e.g. the impact of alcohol on diet or health).
- About dental health and the benefits of good oral hygiene and dental flossing, including regular check-ups at the dentist.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Could work in mixed ability groups so they can support each other; alternatively they could be given a food group they know about already, such as fruit and vegetables.
Pupils working at greater depth: Could be allocated the less familiar food groups to research, for example hydration, oils and spreads.
