Sheffield Family Hubs’ Infant Feeding Team offers free, curriculum-linked lessons for both primary and secondary schools.
- Primary (Year 5 Science – The Science of Mammal Milk)
This interactive session supports the Animals, including humans and Living things and their habitats topics. Pupils explore what makes a mammal, how milk varies between species to meet their young’s needs, and the unique living properties of human breastmilk. Teachers report strong curriculum links and high pupil engagement. - Secondary (Citizenship & Science – The Green Parenting Project and KS3 Science lessons)
Secondary students can take part in The Green Parenting Project, a five-session programme on sustainability, consumer choices, and environmentally friendly parenting. Additionally, tailored science lessons cover the microbiome and the biology of breastfeeding, linking directly to KS3 learning objectives.
