| dc.description.abstract | Aim: The purpose of the study was to improve the health and wellbeing of children and families, promote sustainability, and foster a love of cooking by introducing a planned programme of cooking and nutrition education, providing learning opportunities, and developing enterprise skills. Methods: The participants are pupils from year 2 to year 6, teaching assistants, the Design and Technology Lead, the Cookery School Lead, and local Wahaca branch staff. Methods used include: cooking and nutrition education, mixed year group cooking classes, weekly after school cooking club, Food Waste Cafe, assemblies, visits to local shops, and working with a local Wahaca branch. Findings: Pupils have developed cooking skills, knowledge of nutrition, and awareness of sustainable development goals. They have also gained confidence in talking about food and allergies, and have a heightened understanding of the need for a balanced diet. Implications: Pupils also developed increased confidence and self-esteem, healthy eating knowledge, enterprise skills and a love of cooking. Children can relate their own behaviour to broader issues and speak with insight about the Sustainable Development Goal for responsible consumption. | en |
