Food week – Algeria

During Food Week, Year 1 and 2 students had the opportunity to try different types of Algerian couscous: couscous with raisins, vegetable couscous, and fruit couscous with grapes and white sugar. We also explored the cultural significance of couscous, learning about its origins in Algeria and how it is traditionally prepared. The children learned that couscous is a type of food often eaten during suhoor, the pre-dawn meal in Ramadan, to provide energy for the day’s fasting.

Additionally, the activity highlighted healthy eating habits and the importance of staying healthy. We discussed how Allah has given us different types of food to enjoy and stay fit. We understood the nutritional benefits of couscous and the importance of including a variety of foods in our diet.
