A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the Design and Technology, Year 2, Cooking and nutrition – A balanced diet.
This resource is designed to help pupils understand the importance of healthy eating and introduce them to basic food preparation techniques. It outlines the five key food groups—carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables, protein, dairy, and oils and spreads—and explains that a balanced diet involves eating a variety from each group. Pupils are introduced to essential food-related vocabulary such as grate, snip, spread, taste, and evaluate, and practise skills like cutting, grating, and taste testing. This resource supports nutritional awareness and encourages hands-on exploration of food in a classroom context.
