1. Chartwells Primary School Fun into Food Guide Autumn Term 2016

2. Eat At Chartwells we love delighting young people with freshly prepared and tasty food, offering choice and variety. This food is developed by our chefs using great ingredients which is nutritionally compliant to the school food standards. Learn We love enhancing the understanding, fun and experience of healthy eating from a young age. We support their achievements through the curriculum, interactive nutrition and education and help them develop personally. Chartwells do this through our interactive fun into food workshops and sessions in the Creative Kitchen. Live We care for the environment and focus on helping create a sustainable world for future generations, both in what we do in Chartwells and how we educate this to young people. We support British farmers and suppliers and Mary’s Meals – where over 3,000 children in Africa are fed every year. Eat. Learn. Live

3. Curriculum Links At Chartwells we are proud to support the national curriculum where possible to support achievements at our schools. This also helps support our schools with their Ofsted inspections framework for promoting a healthy lifestyle and nutrition education. Example – Southville Junior School January 2016 Curriculum – ‘Passage to Asia’ To support this subject being studied by the whole of Year 6, we put together a workshop that identified the countries within Asia, had discussions and tastings of some South East Asia foods including fresh lotus root and rice paper. The class also learnt about ‘cultural influence’ of chopsticks and noodles throughout Asia with full interaction and a chopsticks game at the end! Example – Green Dragon School December 2015 Chartwells delivered 16 workshops across the whole school on the basis of Fun,Fitness, and Food. The focus of the sessions were the eatwell plate, hydration, hidden sugars and the importance of exercise. This interactive and fitness session linked into the curriculum for nutrition in Science and also PSHE. We also delivered workshops on food preservation and why food goes off for year 3’s science curriculum.

4. The main focus of the session is nutrition and exercise, covering the food groups on the eat well plate, hydration, exercise and the importance of breakfast. The children will learn how we get nutrition from what we eat and the nutritional benefits they carry out in the body. The fun and interactive part is the children pedalling on our smoothie bike to make nutritious drinks! This workshop is available for Key Stage 2 and requires 1 hour sessions. Smoothie Bike Workshop

5. The main focus of the session is nutrition and exercise, covering the food groups on the eat well plate, hydration, hidden sugars and fats, exercise and different types of foods.
