Olympic Enterprise

Our team decided to influence food technology with the Olympics. We will do this by….

• Using healthy meals for children to taste…

• Using recipes from other countries…• Using different ingredients…• Teaching them about slow releasing energy…

Olympic Enterprise We will teach two separate lessons: a

theory lesson and a practical. On the first day we are teaching them about healthy and nutritious foods then on the second day the pupils will produce a dish related to a specific country.

We will be focusing on three learning objectives:

• To understand what food is suitable for an athlete.

• To understand the importance of healthy eating.

• To be able to make a healthy meal for an athlete that is inspired by a country.
