1. Define what are the nutritional requirements of school children.(age 7-12 years old)

The daily recommended caloric intake for children 11 to 12 years range between
1800 and 2200 kcal/day. 7 and 8 years old children need 60 to 65 kcal/kg/day and
9+ needs 35 to 45 kcal/kg/day. School-aged children should have much less fats,

sugar and salt in their diet. They should also eat more foods containing fiber, such
as cereals, whole-grain breads, seeds, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Fruit should
also not be used as a replacement for vegetables as they contain different
nutrients. To be specific, 7-12 years old children should have 5-6 serving/day of

vegetables, 3 servings of meat and others, and 1 serving of dairy or calcium-

3. According to My Healthy Plate, what is the recommended number of servings and

fluid consumption for this age group? Give an example of a balanced meal.

7-12 years old children should have 5-6 serving/day of brown rice and whole meal
bread, 2 serving/day of fruits, 2 serving/day of vegetables, 3 servings of meat and
others, and 1 serving of dairy or calcium-containing food. My healthy plate
encourages to to eat a quarter of brown rice and wholemeal bread, quarter of
meat and others and half a plate of fruits and vegetables. An example of a
balanced meal is 2 bowls of porridge (500g), 150 g of raw leafy vegetables, 1
medium banana, 3 eggs (150 g).

4. According to dietary guidelines for children, what are some useful tips on how you
can achieve a balanced diet.

More calcium, vitamin D and protein should be included in a diet which will help
you in achieving a balanced diet. It is good to eat fruits and vegetables as they are
a source of vitamin and minerals.

5. List some cooking methods that are suitable for food on sale at the carnival. Give 2
examples of suitable food and explain.

Some cooking methods that are suitable for food at the carnival are deep frying,
baking, grilling and frying. Deep frying is a cooking method in which food is
submerged in hot fat, traditionally lard but now most commonly oil. Baking is a
method of cooking that uses dry heat in an enclosed space. Grilling is a form of
cooking that involves heat applied to the surface of food. Pizza is made by baking
in a pan with a high edge that holds in a layer of toppings. Corn dogs are made by
deep frying and it is a sausage coated with a thick layer of cornmeal batter.

6. Food handling practices:

What are some of the steps you will take to ensure that there is no cross-
contamination of food?

Some precautions I will take to ensure no cross-contamination of food:

- Wash my hands before making the food
- Ensure any surfaces I am using for the preparation of food are clean.
- Wash utensils for raw and cooked food thoroughly between tasks
- Not wash raw meat
- Wash my hands after touching raw food before handling ready-to-eat food.
Brainstorming and Research
- Not cook when I am sick
- Cover raw food, including meat, and keep it separate from ready-to-eat
food in the fridge.
- Store covered raw meat, fish on the bottom shelf of my fridge.
