Having watched Jamie Oliver's School Dinners programme, students research information about healthy eating and then create leaflets using Microsoft Publisher. When they've finished this, they devise a questionnaire which is used to gather information on the eating habits of fellow students and staff. The information is then compiled into a report that includes comments from the students based on their awareness of healthy eating issues. This activity not only helps to develop communication and ICT skills, but also clearly links with the issue of health and well-being. An example of one of the leaflets produced by the students is seen below.
