Lesson details

Keywords

  • Breakfast - the meal eaten in the morning

  • Hygienic - keeping yourself clean

  • Spooning - using a spoon to put food onto or into something

  • Layered - arrange in a layer, on top

Common misconception

Hands can be washed in cold water with soap.

Hands must be washed in warm water with soap, then dried well.

Pupils can share pots of yogurt, fruit and cereal, taking only what they need using a spoon. This helps with limited equipment and less pupils walking around the room.
