Chartwells Primary
School
Fun into Food Guide
Autumn Term 2016
Eat. Learn. Live
Eat
At Chartwells we love delighting young people with freshly prepared and tasty food,
offering choice and variety. This food is developed by our chefs using great ingredients
which is nutritionally compliant to the school food standards.
Learn
We love enhancing the understanding, fun and experience of healthy eating from a
young age. We support their achievements through the curriculum, interactive
nutrition and education and help them develop personally. Chartwells do this through
our interactive fun into food workshops and sessions in the Creative Kitchen.
Live
We care for the environment and focus on helping create a sustainable world for
future generations, both in what we do in Chartwells and how we educate this to
young people. We support British farmers and suppliers and Mary’s Meals – where
over 3,000 children in Africa are fed every year.
Curriculum Links
At Chartwells we are proud to support the national curriculum where possible
to support achievements at our schools. This also helps support our schools
with their Ofsted inspections framework for promoting a healthy lifestyle and
nutrition education.
Example – Southville Junior School January 2016
Curriculum – ‘Passage to Asia’
To support this subject being studied by the whole of
Year 6, we put together a workshop that identified the
countries within Asia, had discussions and tastings of
some South East Asia foods including fresh lotus root
and rice paper. The class also learnt about ‘cultural
influence’ of chopsticks and noodles throughout Asia
with full interaction and a chopsticks game at the end!
Example – Green Dragon School December 2015
Chartwells delivered 16 workshops across the whole
school on the basis of Fun ,Fitness, and Food. The focus
of the sessions were the eatwell plate, hydration, hidden
sugars and the importance of exercise. This interactive
and fitness session linked into the curriculum for
nutrition in Science and also PSHE. We also delivered
workshops on food preservation and why food goes off
for year 3’s science curriculum.
Smoothie Bike Workshop
The main focus of the session is nutrition and exercise, covering the food
groups on the eat well plate, hydration, exercise and the importance of
breakfast.
The children will learn how we get nutrition from what we eat and the
nutritional benefits they carry out in the body. The fun and interactive part
is the children pedalling on our smoothie bike to make nutritious drinks!
This workshop is available for Key Stage 2 and requires 1 hour sessions.
Fun, Fitness and Food
The main focus of the session is nutrition and exercise, covering the food
groups on the eat well plate, hydration, hidden sugars and fats, exercise
and different types of foods. The children will learn how we get nutrition
from what we eat and the nutritional benefits they carry out in the body,
and will discuss their favourite foods with the class.
Followed by a fun ‘heart to heal’ exercises class including running on the
spot, hopping on one leg, and star jumps! This highlights the importance of
diet and exercise and having fun with food!
This session is aimed at all ages and will require the use of a hall or
playground and requires 45 minutes. These are great to support ‘Healthy
Eating Week’ at school!.
‘5 A Day’ Workshops (KS1)
This interactive and fun workshop is aimed at Key Stage 1. The main focus is
going through a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables with each class, gaining
their own knowledge and teaching them different nutritional facts about each
one. Each child in the class is encouraged to talk about their own favourites and
what they eat at home. The term ‘5 a Day’, trying to eat the colours of the
rainbow and portion sizes are also covered. Some of our Food Superheroes
feature in this workshop to engage with the children about their individual
superpowers!!
This session is 30- 45 minutes and can be classroom or hall based with one class
at a time. Food tastings can be included in this session.
