Curriculum links
The Whole Bite Club is aligned to the Health and Physical Education learning area of the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0. Every lesson is written against at least one content description, and one idea runs through all of them: spot the health message, interpret what it wants, then investigate who is telling you and why.
