Children
School food is getting tastier and healthier. New government standards mean more fruit and veg and more fresh food, less deep-fried chips and unhealthy snacks.
This programme looks at how young children across the country are already taking up the challenge to eat better and do better.
At St Peter's Primary in Nottingham, the children organise a lunch club for senior citizens, and help to put on a healthy menu. They also visit a local farm shop to learn about where food comes from.
At St Gregory's in Smethwick, pupils and teachers have come up with a clever way of learning about food - meet animated character Charles Chickens and his friends.
And at Childs Hill Primary in London, the children are getting creative with food by writing poems about healthy eating, and preparing and making a tasty vegetable soup.

PSHE8 January 2007 - 20:42I have used this with year 8 pupils in a series of PSHE lessons about healthy eating. Pupils designed their own school lunches and healthy items for burger fillings. We discussed why it is important to be healthy and why the government are concerned about raising standards of school meals. I brought in fruit and healthy drinks as opposed to fizzy drinks. The lessons were very successful - thanks Teachers Tv for a useful resource
