DT / Food / Little Red Riding Hood This unit can be used alongside the story of Little Red Riding Hood. It provides opportunities for the children to use food technology to create a healthy food product suitable for the grandmother and link it to their storytelling. Included: • Planning • Eatwell Healthy Diet Posters • Sweet And Savoury Muffins - Picture Flashcards • Sensory Vocabulary - Posters + Labels • Worksheets • Target Sheet (LO) This unit develops children’s knowledge and understanding of the importance of healthy eating and the differences between sweet and savoury foods. They investigate and compare different flavoured muffins and describe the appearance, taste and texture of each muffin. They practice making sweet and savoury muffins following two different recipes. Once baked, the children compare the muffins tastes and textures. Using a tally chart, they find out which type of muffin is the most/least favourite in the class. After testing different ingredients that contribute to a healthy diet such as vegetables and pulses, the children then illustrate their own savoury muffins and choice of ingredients. They write instructions, list ingredients and equipment using a recipe template. They talk about their finished product, and record how it looks and how well it matches their original ideas.
