Making healthy choices in Year 8

The lunchbox investigation required our Year 8 students to research, produce and evaluate a lunchbox to suit a lifestyle issue, using the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating as a tool for decision making.  Are you eating foods from all the food groups over the day?

The best thing about our subject is you get to eat it at the end. The students faced a few challenges with availability of ingredients, but I would be very happy to tuck into any of these lunches.

11F get into the kitchen

As part of our tutorial group we came up with the idea that the students would make a risotto for their family and share photos.  As a Foods teacher, I think I am a pretty good cook, but 11F really rose to the challenge. I am sincerely hoping they are non-alcoholic drinks or parents are having a little vino after a day of home schooling!
