Lesson

Cooking
This is the last lesson of the program, which has to be fun and educational. Students are going to realize everything they have learned during previous lessons. They have to create a recipe with the available products. Before turning the products into a meal, they should explain to you and their parents why they chose these nutrients. Make sure everything progresses safely and responsibly. When all students finished cooking their healthy meals, create a circle and dine with the students and their parents. This should be a cosy way to end the program.

What is a healthy diet for children under the age of twelve?
As you will understand, it is important for a child to consume the right amount of nutrients. Therefore the ideal diet is attached. Communicate this to the children and their parents.

End of the program
This program was set up for a reason: creating awareness of the risks and pleasures nutrition can cause and changing the unhealthy eating pattern of Filipinos. Whether or not this has been achieved, has to be discussed with students. You and the students should evaluate the program to spot shortcomings and successful parts of the program. Thank them for their willingness to take part in the lessons. Make sure you and the students had a good time!
