Lesson Plans

Our web-based, interactive lesson plans are designed to feature integration opportunities, extension activities and to build literacy skills. A national survey showed that many Irish children are not getting enough calcium in their diets – a concern that ‘Moo Crew’ is setting out to address by increasing awareness of the importance of the ‘milk, yogurt and cheese’ food group as part of a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Competitions

Classes can also enter the Moo Crew competition and win fantastic prizes by creating a poster to promote the role of milk, yogurt and cheese as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle within their community.

So what are you waiting for….Get mooving!
