What is PhunkyFoods?

PhunkyFoods is a 39 week rolling programme of healthy eating and physical activity lesson plans for every year group in primary school, which builds year-on-year in to a full six-year programme of work.

The programme aims to teach children key healthy eating and physical activity messages in a light hearted and fun manner through art, drama, music, play and hands-on experience with food. The full PhunkyFoods programme consists of one hour a week of healthy eating and one hour a week of physical activity for every year group. All lesson plans have been designed by health professionals (registered nutritionists and dietitians) with support from teachers to ensure both quality and content.

PhunkyFoods lesson plans are all fully supported by a range of resources, including books, DVDs, games and activities, which each school receives when they join the PhunkyFoods programme. Everything a school needs to run the PhunkyFoods lessons is found in their resource box.

These resources have been sourced from extremely reputable charities and organisations such as the British Heart Foundation, British Nutrition Foundation, Comic Company, Food and Drink Federation, British Meat Education Service, Flour Advisory Bureau, The Seafish Authority, The Soil Association and the Food Standards Agency.
