Encourage more children to eat schools meals
http://tinyurl.com/28t5xl Ofsted (UK) highlights measures that can encourage more children to eat schools meals Ofsted has made a series of recommendations to help schools reverse the decline in the number of pupils eating school meals. Inspectors found that the number of pupils eating school meals had fallen in 19 out of 27 schools visited for a new report, Food in schools: encouraging healthy eating. The reasons for the decline were complex but included a lack of consultation with parents and pupils about the new arrangements for healthy school meals, poor marketing of new menus and a lack of choice in what was offered. |

http://education.guardian.co.uk/teacherstv/story/0,,1958910,00.html Eat better, do better: teachers (online video) In this programme, we explore the crucial role that teachers have in ensuring new government food standards are a success in schools. Throughout the UK, teachers, assistants and heads are working towards a healthier life for their pupils. We meet a selection of these teachers and reveal how they have succeeded in changing children's attitudes to food.

Food Chains and Webs
http://www.vtaide.com/png/foodchains.htm Food Chains and Webs Do you like to play games? If you do, you will need energy. Every time you run or jump, you are using up energy in your body. How do you get the energy to play? You get energy from the food you eat. Similarly, all living things get energy from their food so that they can move and grow. As food passes through the body, some of it is digested. This process of digestion releases energy. |

Edible Insects
http://www.eatbug.com/ Some insects are edible. In fact, most insects are edible, but there are a few species that are especially palatable, nutritious, and easily obtainable. The word is Entomophagy. You would think that a word this melodious would be in common usage, but sadly this is not the case. In fact, you probably have never heard this word before (unless you happen to be a friend of mine). |
