Merenda Escolar: Aperfeiçoamento e Interatividade

Abstract

The present work aims to study the school meals guaranteed by the PNAE, how it is constituted and at which points it can be improved, adding ingredients and / or modifying those that already exist in it. The menu that constitutes the object of study was initially composed of rice, beans, ham with potatoes, braised cabbage and a fruit. Grated carrots were added to the rice in order to enrich it nutritionally and make it more colorful and attractive, in addition to a cold tomato salad with grated carrots, providing freshness and crispness to the dish. The work also aims to elaborate a way of introducing an action of Food and Nutrition Education, through a certain activity to be performed with the students, which presents to them the improved meal and also informs about the nutritional properties of the menu, besides the reasons why it is important to consume it. Thus, we came to the game called “Who Am I? Food ”, through which students and teachers have the opportunity to identify foods, learn more about them, and interact with each other, discussing which choice best fits the nutritional properties suggested by the stages of the game. In short, the improvement of a certain menu of the school lunch of São João da Boa Vista and also a playful method of presenting the new dish to children are the pillars of the following article.
