In year 2 this term we had food tech. Initially we looked at sugar hidden in drinks and foods and to always check our packages ingredients and try and spot those hidden sugars. We looked in particular at certain drinks that we are familiar with in pairs we worked out the sugar and as a class we used actual sugar to make it visual for us how much actual sugar was in the drinks we were shocked to find just how much sugar was in the orange juice, nearly 10gr of sugar!

We looked at the food wheel and how should our plate look like when we eat, fruit and vegetables being the biggest portion. With eating healthy in mind we all did a “blind” taster session and we soon found out our likes and dislikes, we this in mind children then designed their own healthy wrap. I think its safe to say that we all learnt a lot and had loads of fun designing, preparing and of course eating!
