Design Brief: Design and make sushi for a healthy lunchtime snack.
Sequence of Learning for Teachers
In this unit of work, children apply their knowledge and understanding about healthy eating to design and make a sushi roll as a healthy lunchtime snack. Children begin by discussing the different ways that we eat food at home and outside the home. They conduct market research into their favourite take away foods and brands. They investigate sushi food through conducting a taste test. They make their own sushi roll following a recipe. In learning how to make a sushi roll they acquire the essential skills and knowledge needed to make maki and this is essential when they come to designing and making their own sushi roll product. They consolidate their understanding of the different food groups on the Eatwell Guide to healthy eating and use this knowledge to design a sushi that promotes healthy eating. Having made their authentic sushi product, they become food entrepreneurs and set up their own small business learning about business basics, budgeting, packaging and marketing their product.

Some activities / sessions can be re-arranged or delivered in different ways in the learning sequence to allow for whole-class teaching and/or small adult-led sessions to take place at the same time.
