Using ingredients to create your ideas

In this lesson, we will make our own healthy lunch. We will make sure that we are working safely and hygienically using a range of ingredients. (Please note, the evaluation lesson 6 will need to be completed straight after you have made your healthy lunch so that it can be tested against your design criteria). This lesson includes some physical activity and equipment beyond pen, paper or pencil. Please make sure your child is adequately supervised.
