Lesson video

Hello everybody.

My name's Mr. Ballam.

Thanks ever so much for joining me today.

Are you enjoying your cooking and nutrition lessons? I hope you are.

Today we're going to look at food likes and dislikes.

So should we get started? So what are we going to be learning today? Well, let's read this together, shall we? "I can describe why we eat what we do." So let's find out, shall we? But before we do that, let's look at some key words which we're going to be using in this lesson.

The first one is "occasion", and that's a special event.

I wonder what occasions you can think of.

I bet you can think of a few, can't you? Another word is "allergy".

Now, some of you might have heard about this word before, and it's when somebody has a bad reaction to a food or a drink.

Do you know anybody that has an allergy? Can you say that with me? Allergy.

Well done.

The third word is "senses", and this is how we see, we smell, and we taste.

We use our senses.

We're going to be using these words today.

So here's our lesson, food likes and dislikes, and let's get started, shall we? Let's look at the first one, which is when and what do we eat? So most of us eat three times a day.

Do you? We eat breakfast in the morning.

Did you have breakfast today? Ooh, I wonder what you had.

What time do you have breakfast? Is it in the afternoon? No, it's not, is it? Let's have a look on the clock, shall we? Here's the clock face.

And this says 8:00 AM.

This is eight o'clock in the morning.

This is when somebody here has breakfast.

What time do you have breakfast in the morning? Remember, breakfast is the first food that we have in a day.

We also eat at lunchtime, and this photo is showing some pupils having lunch at school, but also you have lunch at home, probably over the weekend.

So what do you have for lunch? Could you tell me? Mm.

What did you have for lunch yesterday, for example? I had a tuna and salad sandwich with an apple and water.

What did you have? And what time do we have lunch? Is it six o'clock in the evening? No.

Is it 10 o'clock in the morning? No.

It's usually about between 12 and one-ish, isn't it? Roughly.

So we eat in the morning, and then in the middle of the day, and then what's the next one? That's right.

We also eat in the evening, don't we? Some people call it their dinner.

Some people call it their tea.

But we all eat something in the evening as well.

And what do you like to eat? Hmm.

I bet there's lots of different suggestions, aren't there? And we usually eat this in the evening.

Some people have their tea or dinner around about five-ish, but some people eat a little bit later as well.

But you can see we eat at different times of the day.

We're having our breakfast, our lunch, and our evening meal at different times of the day.

And we often eat different things at those meal times, don't we? Now we need to eat so our bodies can grow, so we get bigger, stronger.

We need to eat so we can be active.

We can play, for example.

And we also need to eat to stay healthy.

And that's really important.

Now, when do you eat food during the day? Can you tell me what times you eat food, roughly? Well done.

I usually have my breakfast around about eight.

I have my lunch about one.

And I have my evening meal about six o'clock in the evening.

But everyone's different, and we'll have food at different times of the day to help suit us.

So let's see if you've been listening, shall we? So true or false? We eat breakfast in the afternoon.

That's false, isn't it? And why? Why do you think? Well, it's because we eat breakfast in the morning.

We don't have breakfast at lunchtime, do we? We don't have breakfast in the evening.

We have breakfast in the morning.

Well done if you got that one correct.

Now sometimes we eat food for different special occasions.

These are special occasions.

And what sort of special occasions might this be? Well, for example, a really nice special occasion is someone's birthday, isn't it? And you might eat different types of foods on someone's birthday, or it might be a religious festival, like Diwali.

Have you had any foods like on this screen here? So what might people eat on these different occasions? Well you can see on the birthday, on the screen, they've got cake, haven't they? But you might have all sorts of different things like, ooh, sandwiches, ooh yes.

Or I might have fruit kebabs or slices of pizza.

And Diwali here, particularly, they have lots of sweet foods that you can see in the lovely photographs here on the screen.

Other special occasions might be Christmas, or it might be Eid.

So what might people eat for these? Can you tell me? Hmm.

Well done.

Other occasions? Well, Chinese New Year is a special occasion, isn't it? Or Hanukkah is another special occasion.

What other special occasions can you think of? Can you tell me? I'm sure you've come up with lots and lots of different ideas.

Well done.

There are lots of different special occasions where we have different food to celebrate.

Well done.

Okay, let's check you've been listening again, shall we? So which one of these is not a special occasion? Is it A, B, or C? That's right, it's breakfast, isn't it? We have breakfast every day, so it's not really a special occasion.

Whereas birthday and Eid are special occasions.

Well done if you've got that one correct.

I've got a little task for you here.

Now list the food Jacob might have on three different special occasions.

Good luck.

Write down the occasion and the food that Jacob might have.

Pause the video now while you complete the task, and then let's meet up again shortly.

Okay, so how did you get on? Shall we look at an example? So here's one example here.

So one occasion could be Christmas, and Jacob here is having a nut roast, potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts, and Christmas pudding.

Mm, sounds delicious.

Another one is a birthday, and he's having a sandwich, jelly, veggie pizza, and fruit kebab.

Wow, that's a really lovely list of food, isn't it? And the third special occasion is Hanukkah.

And here Jacob is having Latkes, which is a type of potato cake.

And Challah, which is a type of bread.

Well done if you've got some really interesting special occasions and foods listed.

Really pleased with your progress.

Well done everyone.

Now let's move on to the next part of the lesson, which is all about our senses.

Do you remember that key word that we looked at earlier? So our senses help us to describe how a food looks, smells, and tastes.

So our senses include sight, using our eyes, smell, using our nose.

Well done.

And taste, using our mouth.

So eyes, nose, and mouth.

Well done, everybody.

Now let's just check that you've been listening, shall we? So what do we use to smell food? Is it A, B, or C? Well done.

It's B, isn't it? It's nose.

We use our nose for smell.

So we use our nose.

We don't use our eyes to smell, do we? No, nor our mouth.

We use our nose.

Well done.

So our senses can help us decide whether we like or dislike a food.

So what foods do you like, and what foods do you dislike? Can you tell me? I like lots of different foods, I must admit.

Foods I dislike? Hmm.

I don't really like brussel sprouts that much, but I know vegetables are good for me.

So when we use our senses, we can use them to help us describe the food, so we can use it to help us describe the colour, the shape, and the size.

Let's look at some examples, shall we? So here we have an apple, some sweet corn, and a cake.

Can you describe how these foods look? What words could you use? An apple could be round, it could be red.

And it's a bit spotty, isn't it? A bit spotty with yellow.

And the sweet corn looks all knobbly around that as well, and there's all bubbles as well, with the water.

And the cake, wow, it's like a rainbow, isn't it? It's like a rainbow.

And it's in layers as well, which is an amazing cake.

We also use our senses to describe how our food smells as well.

Do you remember? Yes! We use our nose, don't we? And our nose can detect lots and lots of different types of smells, too.

Let's look at some examples, shall we? Ooh, look at these foods.

I bet they smell amazing.

So what do you think these foods smell like? The first one, a pizza.

Mm, what words would you use for that? Cheesy? Maybe it smells of garlic, too.

And then there's a delicious chickpea curry here as well.

Mm, I bet that smells really lovely.

Very aromatic.

Wow, that's a big word, isn't it? But it smells lovely.

Could smell spicy too.

And the last one is salmon.

I bet that smells lovely, nice and rich.

Fishy, you could say too, couldn't you? I'm sure you can come up with lots of different words to help you describe the smell of different foods.

But we can also describe how a food tastes, don't we? And we use our mouth to detect lots of different types of tastes.

So here's a few examples here.

So what do you think these would taste like? The lolly? Hmm.

That could be fruity, couldn't it? Lots of different fruits and layers there.

There's the toast.

And that could be, ooh, that could taste quite buttery.

Could be crunchy too, I suppose.

And then that main meal? Whoa, there's lots of different tastes going on there, isn't there? See if you can describe some for me.

Well done.

I can see you're really good at this.

Well done, everybody.

Okay, let's just double check you've been listening, shall we? So we can detect how our food tastes by using our, A, eyes, B, nose, or C, mouth.

That's right.

We detect the taste by using our mouth.

Well done, everybody, if you got that one correct.

So let's help Izzy, shall we? So Izzy is describing different types of foods, but is she describing the look, the smell, or the taste? Have a go, fill these three in, pause the video, and we'll have a look together.

Good luck! Okay, how did you get on? Let's have a look, shall we? So the first one is, "It tastes creamy and sweet." They're good words, aren't they? "It looks round and red." And the last one, "It smells like fish." Well done, everybody.

You're doing really well in this lesson.

I'm really pleased with your progress.

You're great at this.

Let's move on to the last part of the lesson, which is all about my food likes and dislikes.

Now we all choose food for different reasons, don't we? And it might be where we are, for example.

So we might have food at school, which might be provided, or you bring in a packed lunch.

You might have food on a picnic.

Now that would be different to what you have at school, wouldn't it? I would imagine.

Or you might go out for a special occasion, perhaps to a cafe or a restaurant.

And all these three different places, you might have something different to eat.

So we might have different types of foods.

So what might you eat on the three occasions? Something tasty, I bet.

But sometimes, we do not choose a food, and this might be because we have an allergy to a certain food, and an allergy is a bad reaction to a food or a drink.

Some examples are peanuts, or it could be flour, or it could be dairy foods like milk, yoghourt, or cheese.

So if we have an allergy, we should not eat the food.

So what is a bad reaction to a food? Is it A, B, or C? That's right, isn't it? It's allergy.

An allergy is a bad reaction to a food, and we shouldn't eat it if we have an allergy to it.

Well done for getting that one correct.

You did brilliantly.

Fantastic job, everybody.

So we often choose food that we like.

That makes sense, doesn't it? And we don't choose the food that we don't like.

Yeah, that makes sense, Mr. Ballam.

So we like or dislike food because of the way it looks, it smells, and it tastes.

That makes sense to me.

How about you? So people like and dislike different foods, because we're all different, aren't we? And there are no right or wrong foods to like or dislike.

We all have different preferences.

We have different likes and dislikes.

And we like and dislike food for different reasons.

But overall, we need to make sure that we have a variety of food to be healthy.

Do you remember? Do you remember, we need food to grow, to be active, and be healthy.

So true or false? People like and dislike the same food.

That's false, isn't it? And why? Well, people like and dislike different food based on how it looks, how it smells, and how it tastes.

Well done! Okay, I've got a little task here for you.

I want you to name two foods that you like and two foods that you dislike, and I want you to explain why.

Pause the video, and good luck.

We'll catch up shortly.

Okay, how did you get on? Let's look at an example, shall we? So here's an example here.

So the food.

Apple, baked beans, broccoli, and milkshake.

The like? Apple.

And why? Because it's sweet and crunchy.

Baked beans.

Dislike.

'Cause they're hard.

Hmm, maybe that's the type of bean, I think.

Broccoli, like, because they look like little trees.

That's quite funny, isn't it? And a milkshake, dislike.

It was too thick and creamy.

There are lots of different foods that you might like and dislike, and lots of different reasons.

So well done for whatever you've put down.

So well done.

I hope you've really been enjoying this lesson.

Let's have a quick summary, shall we? So we've learned about that we usually have a breakfast, a lunch, and an evening meal.

We often eat three times a day, but sometimes we have different food on special occasions, and there are quite a few special occasions, aren't there, that we covered.

And we also learned that our senses help us describe what we see, smell, and taste.

Do you remember those? With our eyes, our nose, and our mouth.

And we choose food and drink for different reasons.

And some people have an allergy, which is a bad reaction to a food.

But do you remember, overall, we need to eat a variety of different foods to be healthy, to grow, and to be active.

Well I hope you really enjoyed this lesson, and I hope to see you very, very soon.

Thanks ever so much.

Take care.

Bye!.
