A new user-friendly multimedia resource called The Grain Chain (www.grainchain.com) offers children a fun way to learn about healthy eating and an insight into the 'field to fork' cycle of how wheat is grown and used to produce breads and cereals.

Resources available

Developed with input from teachers, this latest learning resource which is accessible on www.grainchain.com can be used both in the classroom and at home with family and friends.  It offers visual, up-to date materials including activity sheets, games and quizzes which cover the key topics of arable farming, milling, cooking and nutrition.  Teachers are offered the benefits of interactive white board activities as an additional classroom resource plus a dedicated teachers section includes detailed lessons plans and curriculum details.

The Grain Chain covers the following age groups:

• 5-7 year olds
• 7-11 year olds
• 11-14 year olds
• 14-16 year olds

Given the current debate around the need to teach children cooking skills, there are a range of easy recipes with clear explanations, ranging from breakfast to healthy treats and party food.  The recipes are in line with current healthy eating guidelines.
