FOOD FUSION - Year 5 Rostrata Primary with Claire Davenhall

by Claire,

Session 4

DATE 15.5.25

90-minute session in the classroom: 

Warm Up (one photo)

We played called “Webs” — it’s all about connection, creativity, and of course... food!
Using a ball of golden wool (because why not make it fabulous?), we stood together in a circle.
  1. The first person holds onto the end of the wool and says a food they love.
  2. If anyone else in the group also loves that food, they call out:
    “I LOVE that too!”
  3. The person who shared then chooses someone else to throw the wool to (gently!) — but they must remember to keep hold of their piece of the string.
  4. The next person catches it, says a food they love, and the process continues.
As we go, we created a physical web of shared tastes and ideas, all linked by golden threads of common ground.By the end, we’ll have a literal web of delicious inspiration that we can refer back to for their final designs.

 Main Activity (one photo)

Student created their final food fusion - choosing if it is a basic item (need for the community) or a luxurious item (want for the community).
They needed to think about who is their target audience, advertising methods, and pricing strategies. (We can introduce the end project to them here)
  • Students design posters, flyers, or digital ads for their food creations
  • Encourage creativity and use of persuasive language.
They thought about how are they going to sell their product…will it be on a small plate like a market food truck or will it be in a packet?

 Reflection with the students (one photo)

Give out 2 coins?  They write what 2 habits they used the most in class. Imaginative and persistent I think, were the ones used the most today.

 After the session: Planning with the Teacher

(refer back to your original Term Plan document, discuss successes, explore challenges and make changes.)

Next week, I think they need to make it clay - it will need to dry before they can paint
Kmart clay
I can also check out other material from Remida

Working with students

(what is emerging, what is engaging them/not, what’s making them curious.)

They are very good at sharing the products. Their ideas.. We used lots of brain breaks help them focus during explicit teaching of the Why and How aspects of the curriculum. 

Ideas moving forward

(ideas for next session, future lessons, discussed with teacher, do you need the teacher to do anything before you return.)

Warm up.. We can play the tea bag game… i bring in a tea bag and they have to think of exciting ways to sell me a tea bag!
We can sit in circle and pass it round or we can split them into smaller groups so its goes a bit quicker.

Resources

(do you need anything, who will source it?)

Materials…. Clay etc.. maybe paper cuts and plates?
