Description

This course is designed to help you deliver the nutrition education element of the Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme to primary school aged children.

Many people find it difficult to deliver this part of the HAF programme, perhaps because they are unsure about what they should be teaching children about food, or which types of activities are appropriate or safe, and many don’t have kitchens or kitchen equipment.

This course will give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to safely run a practical food activity with children in your setting, by:

  • providing you with an idea for a simple food activity that can be run in any setting;

  • showing you how to run your food activity safely and hygienically;

  • providing you with nutrition and healthy eating information related to the food activity which you can share with the children. (In this course, the nutrition focus will be on fibre.)

Build a brilliant snack course
  • Part 1: An introduction to food work with children and the key considerations.

  • Part 2: A focus on fibre.

  • Part 3: Planning and running your snack session.
