Topic 3 KS2: What do we eat and how can we make our diet healthier?

YOU ARE AT: HOME » TOPIC 3 KS2

This topic provides an opportunity for children to record what they currently eat and how their diet compares with government recommendations. They will think about healthy eating and how it affects our long term health. Helping the children understand how to eat well and make positive choices will be an ongoing process, but hopefully these activities will get them started.
