Uses the format of a recipe to encourage children to think about what makes a perfect Christmas, includes my suggestions, but open to being extended. Surprising how many children forget Christmas is a religious festival!

I had so many photos of the seasons I decided to use them. Encourages the children to think about the seasons in the UK and how they change. It's worth getting them to realise that not all countries have 4 distinct seasons. Perhaps a nice homework to get them to find out about seasons in other countries?

This lesson is designed to encourage students to think about where our food comes from and how far it has travelled. Students need food cards which have a photo of food on one side and what it is/where it comes from on the reverse (photocopy food cards sheets back to back and cut up in envelopes) so that they can design their own menu. There is a wide variety of foods with enough choices for all diets and any cards can be omitted for religious reasons. They then map where the food came from and measure the distance travelled to work out the total number of food miles. Results are often very surprising!
