Healthy Food - KS1 - Year 1

Healthy food KS1 PSHE lesson.  A one-hour long, very detailed, fully resourced PSHE lesson suitable for KS1. This lesson has been created for Year 1, however, the activities are also suitable for use in Year 2, or even younger students in KS2 (Year 3). In this lesson, the children will learn about healthy eating and the reasons why we need to eat a varied, balanced diet. We will discuss the effects of harmful health and unhealthy foods, and the potential consequences of eating to much fat and sugar. We we read 'Why Should I Eat Well?' by Claire Llewellyn and Mike Gordon, before completing a set of activities linked to the text. The lesson includes a case study starter, a story with accompanying questions, a food tasting activity, and a plenary task. Created to fit the new DfE and PSHE Association statutory 2020 /21 guidelines, the lesson includes a detailed PowerPoint, all editable with accompanying tasks and worksheets. The lesson has been left editable and is filled with engaging, well differentiated and fun activities. It is designed to be ‘no prep’, so you can just pick it up and use it, although it is still adaptable should you wish to.
