    Med trygg mat meiner vi mat som ikkje inneheld helse- og miljøskadelege stoff. For å sikre trygg mat er det viktig med både god personleg hygiene og god produksjonshygiene, uansett kvar du arbeider i matvarekjeda. Matvarekjeda går heilt frå handtering av råvarene, behandling av råvarene til ferdig mat og til sal av mat til forbrukaren.

Formative assessment

The formative assessment should help promote learning and the development of competence. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in food and health in Years 5, 6, and 7 when they make, explore and assess food and meals, and when they reflect on issues related to diet, health and food consumption.

The teacher facilitates pupil participation and encourages the desire to learn through practical assignments in the kitchen and other suitable learning arenas. The teacher shall have conversations with the pupil regarding their development in food and health. The pupils shall have the opportunity to experiment. Based on the demonstrated competence of the pupils, they shall be given the opportunity to express what they believe they can accomplish and in which areas they have improved. The teacher provides guidance on further learning and adapts the education to enable the pupils to use the guidance to develop competence in making sustainable food that lays the foundation for good health, and becoming conscious consumers and conveyors of food cultures.
