Street Food Fiesta (Upper Key Stage 2)

Design Brief: Design and make a healthy food product suitable for the Street Food Festival

Strand of Learning: Cooking and Nutrition
Overview: In this unit of work children learn about the different ways in which people eat food both at home and when they eat out. They learn that there are a number of different ways to eat out and that street food is one such option that is becoming more popular in the UK. Children have the opportunity to taste test food wraps and make a tuna food wrap by making tortilla and a healthy tuna-based filling. Having consolidated their understanding of the Eatwell Guide they design their own street food product based on a healthy food wrap. With this product they then set up a small food business to create and sell the food product at the school Street Food Festival.
