Class 4J- DT- Healthy Wraps

Lesson: Design and technology

This week, as part of our healthy lifestyle, Sports and DT week, we have been investigating, discussing, designing and creating a healthy food option. We started the week by considering what healthy food is and why we all need to make healthy choices. We also discussed where our fruit and vegetables come from and worked out whether they are grown in the UK or abroad. Further work was completed on working out the total of 'Food Miles' for specific meals!

We went on to find out more about 'sandwich wraps' and where they originated from. We investigated the types of fillings and ways that these are wrapped. We also looked into the contents of food in terms of sugar and salt.

After the above, we began to design our own wrap recipes whilst considering the d above regarding healthy choice making.

Yesterday we finally managed to have a go at creating our recipe using the ingredients we had chosen. We were careful when cutting our selected vegetables and some of us used the graters to grate our cheese. Once we had all combined our ingredients, we wrapped these up and went outside the enjoy eating them in the sunshine,

This was then followed up with a discussion and an activity to evaluate our wraps! These were very well considered but also very interesting!
