This health education lesson helps young children understand why eggs are a healthy food. Pupils look inside an egg to identify the white and the yolk, and learn that eggs provide protein, vitamins and minerals that help them grow strong and give them energy. They practise sorting foods into healthy options and occasional treats, discuss what a balanced diet means, and design their own healthy meal. The lesson closes by exploring the many ways eggs can be enjoyed (boiled, fried, scrambled, poached) and noting that British Lion eggs are the safe choice when eggs are eaten raw.
