Presentation: Odd one out
Give the children time to discuss the options with a partner. Take feedback and discuss the children's reasons for their choices.
The children might suggest one of the foods being an odd one out because:
It was in a different food group.
It had a different taste.
It wasn't popular.

Questions
What are you designing? (A balanced wrap.)
Who are you designing it for? (A charity that wants a healthy wrap that children will like.)
What food groups must it contain? (Protein, fruit or vegetables, dairy.)
Existing products
Present the children with some wraps that are available to buy in shops.
Ask the children to keep the packaging sealed and to look at the information.
Questions
What are the ingredients?
What food groups are represented? (The children may identify carbohydrates, protein, fruits and vegetables, dairy or oils and spreads.)
Which ingredient does it look like there is most of in the wrap? (Encourage the children to work out what the main ingredient is.)
Are there any ingredients similar to those that you tried in the last lesson?
Designing wraps
Ask the children to review the Activity: Taste combinations they completed in Lesson 4: Taste testing ingredients. Allow time for the children to tell their partner what their favourite flavour combinations were and which were less successful.
Getting feedback
Ask the children to leave their designs on their tables.
Instruct them to move to another child's space and look at all the designs. Explain that the children need to draw a smiley face in the space below their favourite wrap design.
Ask the children to move a few more times to new spaces so that each child has received feedback from multiple children.
Invite the children to return to their seats. Ask them to choose their favourite by placing a tick in the box. Explain that they can choose to listen to the feedback from their peers or choose the design they like the best.
