Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Provide with a copy of the Activity: Food groups diagram for pupils to visually see which foods are in each food group.
Pupils working at greater depth: Challenge to design their own balanced dish and explain why it is a healthy plate of food.
Skip class example on slide 6 and see if the pupils can determine where each ingredient needs to sit on their own.
Seek a deeper understanding through open questioning and by asking them to justify their answers.
