This text shows teachers how to make children more aware of what they eat, where food comes from, and how food is prepared, shared and celebrated. There are six activity chapters covering: exploring food with our senses; where does food come from?; mealtimes; healthy eating; fun with food; and food around the world. Linking up to these activities is a photocopiable anthology section of action rhymes, poems, stories and songs. In addition there are photocopiable activity sheets, plus ideas for displays and assemblies. A topic web shows how the activities help to prepare for both the National Curriculum and the Scottish 5-14 National Guidelines.
