Explanation
Imagine our school gets a canteen. What would make it a healthy space? It must be clean. There should be a tap and soap so children can wash their hands, bins for rubbish, shade and seats, and clear signs. It also needs healthy food and drinks, with water always available. Each child can write a list of three foods to sell, for example a banana, a cheese sandwich and a glass of milk. Then the class sorts the food cards into groups. The class decides the groups, for example “fruit and vegetables”, “bread and rice” or “eat often” and “only sometimes”. Some children have allergies to foods such as nuts, eggs or milk, so the canteen must label every food clearly and teachers must know about allergies.
Worked examples
Hana’s list of three canteen foods: an apple, a cheese sandwich, a glass of milk. She also writes: “Please label foods with nuts or eggs.”
The class sorts 8 food cards in one way: plant foods or animal foods. Plant foods: bread, banana, rice, tomato. Animal foods: egg, cheese, chicken, milk. 4 + 4 = 8.
Another class sorts the same cards differently: “eat often” and “only sometimes”. There is more than one right way to sort, as long as the group name tells why the foods belong together.
Class activity
Design our canteen. In a group, draw a plan with a tap and soap, bins, seats and a food counter. Each child writes three foods on cards. A grown-up checks whether anyone in class has an allergy and the group adds labels. Then sort all the cards into groups of your own choice and write a name for each group.
Practice
1
Name two things a healthy canteen space needs.
For example: clean tables, soap and a tap, bins, water, labels on foods.
2
Why must a canteen label foods that have nuts or eggs?
Some children are allergic and must not eat them.
3
Sort: bread, milk, rice, egg. Which two are plant foods? Say the letters.
A and C, the bread and the rice.
4
Can the same food cards be sorted in a different way? Give an example.
Yes: by colour, by plant or animal, by eat often or only sometimes.
