Warm Up (one photo)
| Divide the students into 2 groups - each group cuts out a creative token/coin and hides one for another group to find. Each week, students will gain a creative habit token/coin and place it in their piggy bank jars and save for market food day! They had to be very persistent with this challenge. We talked about different strategies they might use and how that was being disciplined. They also had to imagine where they thought people would hide the tokens in order to find them. |

Main Activity (one photo)
| "Market Matters: What We Need to Feed a Nation" Students explored the difference between needs and wants through the lens of food. To brainstorm ideas for different types of food based on needs and wants, get into groups of 3/4 and take on the 30 circles Challenge. Ask them to turn as many of the circles as possible into food items in 3 minutes. You can give the example, but give no other instructions. We discuss our findings… Students then create cards using the ingredients from the challenge, to create a game 3 basic and 3 luxury ingredients. Each student takes 2 cards and creates a Food fusion idea. They then need to decide if their food is a Basic or Luxury item… Let's rank them in order with the whole group… Now let's change the variables to Yummy and yucky food and rank them. We keep changing cards to create at least 3 different food fusions. We will look at supply and demand - Supply challenge: there is a drought and the rice has run out… the sea is polluted, you can not eat seafood! NOW ADAPT your ideas… Create 3 ideas and then a final idea |
Reflection with the students (one photo)
| Select a token for your jar and say how you have used that habit in today's class… write it on the back of your token. |
After the session:
Planning with the Teacher
(refer back to your original Term Plan document, discuss successes, explore challenges and make changes.)
| Lots of Collaboration today, which did mean it was more noisy than usual. They were excited to share their ideas and generated so many different yummy and luxury foods from the ingredients… |
Working with students
(what is emerging, what is engaging them/not, what’s making them curious.)
| They all seem very curious and I think it there is a natural food fusion happening already with the types of ingredients they selected because the year group are culturally diverse. |
Ideas moving forward
(ideas for next session, future lessons, discussed with teacher, do you need the teacher to do anything before you return.)
| I think they need to develop something for their market next week and build on their wonderful idea using lots of materials. Then the following week, work out the money maths for their ideas. |
Resources
(do you need anything, who will source it?)
| Plates, air-dry clay, coloured paper, glue, pens, and interesting materials to create their food market stall. |
How can you share learning outcomes/stories of transformation with the wider school community (e.g. Connect newsletter, staff meeting, school newsletter, school social media platforms)
| I will email the teacher the updates. |
