Write down the ingredients required for your lunch and specify the

to be healthy for you. Mention what specific nutritional benefits it
offers. Also, think about what could be improved in your recipe to
make it even healthier.
Part 2: Outdoor Presentation
Outdoor Session: We will have an outdoor session on the school ground where each
student will present their chosen healthy lunch option. You will need to explain why you
