Food, glorious food!
In this lesson, we will explore what a diet is and why it is so important. We will have a very special visitor who will teach us the benefits of eating the right foods and will be introduced to the Eatwell Plate. From this, we will have a better understanding of the different amounts of foods we should be eating. At the end of the lesson, we will write a letter persuading others to make healthier choices.
