The Challenges cover healthy eating, cooking and where food comes from, and provide a wide range of activities that teachers can select depending on their pupils’ needs, age and abilities, and the time available.
The Challenges culminate in a final outcome, which could be paper based, such as a poster or display, a video or interactive activity, a recipe, menu or dish/range of dishes, depending on the theme of the Challenge.
An optional pupil certificate is available to download and personalise once the Challenge has been achieved.
