FSA Wales teacher pack available online

Tuesday 24 November 2009

Teachers in Wales can now download a pack crammed full of resources to help equip pupils with the life skills and knowledge to make healthy and safer food choices.

The FSA Wales Foundation Phase (Key Stage 1) and Key Stage 2 teacher pack includes whiteboard activities, a pantomime DVD and access to a catalogue of FSA online interactive games for use in the classroom.

All are supported by cross curricular lesson plans, worksheets and extension activities and help deliver key Agency messages on themes such as the eatwell plate, signpost labelling and the 4Cs: Cleaning, Cooking, Chilling and Cross contamination.

The teacher pack also includes a section on special dietary requirements that covers allergens and ethnic diets and guidance on how to handle, prepare and serve food in the classroom, along with a copy of the Food Competency Framework. The pack also signposts teachers to further sources of useful information and teaching resources.

Originally developed to support the work of FSA Wales in schools, the teacher pack has proven to be a practical and freestanding tool for schools generally in teaching about food safety and healthy eating.

You can download the pack and the powerpoint presentations featured in it via the links below.

Please note that the pantomime DVD is only available to Welsh schools and availability is limited.
