Lesson video

Hello, everybody.

I'm Mr. Ballam.

Thanks everyone so much for joining me today for this lesson all about food sources.

So really where our food comes from.

Let's get started, shall we? So what are we going to learn today? Well, you're going to be able to describe food from plants and animals.

Wow.

That'll be really good, won't it? But before we get started, I've got some key words that I want to go through with you, and I want to make sure you can remember them and pick them up as we go through the lesson.

So the first one is fruit, and that's a part of a plant that contains seeds.

So we need to remember that.

So a fruit is a part of a plant.

What about vegetables, that's second word? Well, that's also parts of a plant, but it's the leaves, the stem, the flowers, and the roots of a plant.

So we've got all the different types of a plant being used.

And the third key word is shops.

And this is a place where you can buy items that you want.

So for example, for food, it might be a supermarket.

Let's get started.

So the first part of the lesson is all around food from plants and animals.

So we know that all food comes from plants and animals, and we eat food from plants.

And some people eat food from animals.

So a quick check, true or false, all food comes from plants or animals? That's true, isn't it? And why? Well, the food we eat is made from plants or animals.

Well done if you got that correct.

Now, there's a huge range of food that comes from plants, and this includes things like fruit and vegetables.

Can you see all the different types there? Aren't they amazing? Now, a little challenge for you.

Can you name four of each? Can you name four fruits and four vegetables? What's that you're saying? Oh, well done.

You're doing brilliantly.

Just have a little think about that.

There are so many different types that you could name.

So these come from plants, fruits and vegetables.

But also from plants, we can get beans, and there are lots of different types of beans that we can get.

And we can also get nuts and also things like rice.

So these are all from plants, and there are different types of beans, nuts, and rice that you can get.

We also make food from plants.

So for example, pasta is made from a plant.

Bread is made from plant.

We don't grow pasta, we don't grow bread.

We make it from a plant.

We also make hummus.

So what are these made from? Well, pasta and bread are made from flour, which is from a plant.

And hummus is made from chickpeas, which is also from a plant.

So these foods here are made from a plant.

So let's have a quick check, shall we? So which of these is made from plants? Is it A, B, or C? Read the question very carefully.

That's right.

It's B, isn't it? B is made from a plant, whereas A and C are plants.

Well done.

That was quite tricky, that one wasn't it? So there's a range of food that also comes from animals.

So things like eggs.

Now where do eggs come from? Mm, yeah, that's right.

Chickens lay eggs.

So an egg is from a chicken, which is an animal.

There's also food made by animals, so honey.

So what are these that you can see? That's right, they're bees, aren't they? And bees make honey.

So bees make honey in their hive.

So honey is from an animal.

So what other food comes from animals? Well, for example, there's milk, and milk comes from a dairy cow.

So the cow is milked.

But we can also make cheese and yoghourt from milk.

So all of these are from animals.

Other food includes fish and meat.

And there's lots of different types of fish and meat that you can buy and eat.

And some food is made from animals.

So things like fish fingers, sausages, a chicken curry or a beef burger, these are all made from animals.

And there are lots of different foods which are made from fish or meat.

Let's have a quick check, shall we? So which food comes from an animal? A, B, C? That's right, chicken.

Chicken breast comes from an animal.

Is there any more? Yes, honey.

Do you remember? The bees make the honey in the hive.

So these two foods come from animals.

Well done.

I've got a little task for you here, and I want you to answer the question from Izzy and Laura.

Pause the video and come back and we'll have a look together.

Good luck.

Right, let's see how you got on, shall we? Let's look at some examples together.

There's so many things you could have chosen.

So Izzy is saying, "Name three foods from plants." Well, bananas, beans and bread.

Lots of Bs there.

But they're three examples.

And I'm sure you come up with lots of different examples too.

And then Laura said, "Name three foods from animals." So it could have been things like honey, cheese, and fish fingers.

But again, there are lots of different types.

Well done.

Let's move on to the second part of the lesson, which is all about where we buy food.

So we buy food from shops.

Here's some examples.

So we might go to the supermarket, which is a very big shop.

And in fact we have to have a trolley sometimes to put all the food in it.

And we might go to a deli or a delicatessen to buy food.

That's much smaller shop usually.

And some people might do their food shopping online instead because it's more convenient for them.

So there are different places where we can buy food.

And which of these shops have you visited? Have you been to any of these? Hmm, I think I've done all three.

(chuckles) And there's also some special shops, and they sell food too.

And these can be things like a bakery, for example, or it could be a fishmonger or perhaps a greengrocer.

And these shops tend to sell one type of food.

So for the bakery it might be bread and cakes and biscuits.

For the fishmonger, you've guessed it, fish.

And the greengrocer is usually things like fruit and vegetables.

So we can buy food in special shops too.

So let's just check that you've been listening, shall we? So which type of food would a fishmonger sell? A, B, or C? That's right.

It's A, isn't it? It's fish.

A fishmonger would sell fish, not rice and not the cook meats there either.

Well done if you got that one correct.

Where else can we buy food? Well, we can buy food at farm shops, for example, or perhaps markets.

Have you been to a farm or a market to buy food? It's an amazing place.

Very different from a shop, isn't it? And we can also buy food when we go out to eat, and it's already prepared.

So we might go to a cafe, for example, or a restaurant or perhaps a takeaway.

And the food is already made for us ready to eat.

So where else can we buy food? Hmm.

There's probably quite a lot of places.

Have a little think for me.

Now, we've been looking about where food comes from, about where it comes from plants and animals and where we buy it, but some people grow food at home as well.

So people might grow food in the garden if they have one, or perhaps in a window box or a pot, or perhaps they've got an allotment so they can grow different types of foods to eat.

Now Izzy saying that she likes to grow food.

Do you? Have you grown anything? If so, what have you grown? Mm, I've grown rhubarb before and potatoes.

Amazing.

So let's have a quick check, shall we? Which of these three would you be able to grow at home? A, B, or C? Look at the photos really carefully.

That's right, it's B and C.

That's right, we could grow basil and we could grow tomatoes at home, but we wouldn't grow pasta, would we? No.

So well done if you got that correct.

Right, so we've got a task for you here.

I want you to name two types of food that you might buy from these different places, so a bakery, a cafe, a farm, and a supermarket.

Pause the video, have a go, and come back together when you're ready.

Good luck.

See you soon.

Okay, so how did you get on? Should we look at some examples together? So a bakery, well, you could buy things like bread and biscuits, for example.

You could have bought something else, perhaps like cakes.

So there are lots of different types of foods.

And for Laura at a cafe, well she's had a sandwich and a drink, perhaps a water or an orange juice.

But I'm sure there's lots of different things that you could have eaten at a cafe.

So what about Lucas? He's at a farm.

Well he's got eggs, which are laid by the chickens, and he's picked strawberries himself.

Mm, delicious.

And the last one, Andeep, he's been to the supermarket.

Wow, I'm sure there's lots and lots of things he could get there, but he's bought some canned beans and fish fingers.

Well done.

You doing really, really well.

I'm so pleased with this lesson.

So we've learned so much today, haven't we, about food sources, about where food comes from.

Let's have a quick summary.

So we know that all food comes from plants and animals, and a range of food comes from plants such as fruit and vegetables, beans, rice, and bread.

We also know that a range of food comes from animals such as eggs, milk, honey, fish fingers, and beef burgers, lots of different types of foods.

And we also know that we buy food in different places, and that can be things like a shop, a bakery, a market, or perhaps a cafe.

Well done, everybody.

I think you've done brilliantly today.

We've been learning so much about food sources, about where our food comes from and how we buy it.

I hope you've really enjoyed the lesson today, and I hope to see very soon for another cooking and nutrition lesson.

Thanks ever so much.

Bye.

See you soon.
