Primary Design Technology Scheme of Work

Lunchtime Wraps (Lower Key Stage 2)

Design Brief: Design and Make a Healthy Wrap for a School Packed Lunch
Strand of Learning: Cooking and Nutrition
Overview: In this unit of work children learn how to design and make tortilla wraps as part of a healthy diet. They continue to develop their understanding of healthy eating messaging and the Eatwell Guide and use this knowledge when designing their own healthy lunchtime wrap. They consolidate their knowledge of a range of different food types and know what food group from the Eatwell Guide they belong to. They know that a wrap consists of tortilla bread wrapped around a filling and how to conduct a taste test to evaluate food taste, texture, and appearance. Children learn that food is either grown, reared or caught and apply this learning to different fillings used for lunchtime wraps. As part of their learning, children investigate the information on food labels and packaging as use this knowledge to design packaging for the lunchtime wraps that they have created.
