Over the week practitioners are encouraged to plan activities relating to food, these activities can be based around;
- Cooking and baking
- Food tasting sessions
- Outings to local farms, supermarkets or bakeries
- Art Activities recreating or using food
- Messy play
- Parent partnership sessions including giving advice or inviting them into the setting to join in
- Bake-offs and competitions
- Planting and Growing
