    The best thing to do is to look at the ages and stages information in the Eyfs... that gives you loads of ideas for planning children's next steps and for what they might be doing / achieving depending on their age / stage etc.

    Then you work backwards from that and think about what they enjoy doing at the moment, so if John enjoys cooking, then you make some healthy eating banana cakes with him and evidence it linked to his age and stage... if Jane prefers cutting and sticking, make some healthy eating plates with her cut out of magazines etc and evidence that.

    Then look back at the Eyfs and work out how to enhance their learning.

    I am planning healthy eating for the halfterm week and the week after. these are some of the things i came up with for the ages of 1yr,2yrs,3yrs,5yrs,8yrs and 10yrs.

    looking at foods in books deciding what is healthy and non healthy --cll,kuw

    choosing a recipe from a book then 'writing' a shopping list or cutting out pictures to make the shopping list.--cll,cd,pd

    walking to the supermarket to buy the foods---pd,kuw,psrn(counting the number of items etc money)

    making the recipe whilst discussing how the mixture looks and feels and smells and if we like it now and will we like it when finished---psed,cd,kuw,psrn-weighing etc

    healthy and non healthy food plates--kuw, cll, cd

    fruit kebabs--cll,cd,psed--do they like the feel etc

    These activites will be adapted to suit each age, ie the one yrold will look at picture books, then make marks on the paper for her shopping list whilst the 10yrold will read the books and write her shopping list whilst maybe discussing the countrys where the food comes from.
    fruit kebabs--the younger ones will probably mush and squish the fruit therefore discovering the texture and tastes and smells that way whislt the older ones will thread them on kebab sticks.
    in the supermaket the older ones will get their own baskets and pay with money they work out themselves whist the younger ones will help to pick the ingreediants of the shelf and enjoy the differernt sights and sounds.

    hope this is helpful
