The Bob and the Lunchbox Classroom pack is full of integrated tools designed to support each other or work independently to help primary school children learn about foods which are helpful to our bodies.

The key features of the pack are that it ...

  • Uses the child's own packed lunch or hot school meal as the focus of relevant teaching
  • Shows children how their food is divided into food groups and broadly what these do in the body using a unique pictorial lunchbox questionnaire
  • Illustrates the potential use of the tools to teachers and children with a story 'The lunchbox classroom' suitable for reading in seven sessions to children in upper key stage 2.
  • Learning points are presented on learning sheets which can be shared via an interactive white board from the CDROM and reinforced by photocopiable activity sheets for children to complete.
  • Includes many materials suitable for children throughout primary school but particularly relevant for upper key stage 2.
  • Emphasises balance and variety in our diets with the importance of our own choices and relevance to the food choices children are faced with today.
  • No food is labelled as 'bad' (but it might be classed as clutter!)
  • Written by a GP with postgraduate qualifications in nutrition and four school age children.
  • All sheets beautifully illustrated and professionally designed to appeal to both children and adults.
