Lesson video

Hello, I'm Mr. Ballem.

Thanks ever so much for picking this lesson today.

Today our lesson is called Plant or Animal, and we're going to be looking about 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 sort foods into plants and animals, so whether they come from a plant or an animal.

Let's have a look at some keywords that we're going to be using in this lesson.

Well, the first one is plant.

And a plant is a living thing that grows in the ground.

Things like fruit or vegetables.

So that's a plant.

And an animal is also a living thing, but it can eat and move such as things like a chicken or a dairy cow.

So we're going to be looking at a plant and an animal.

Right, so let's get started, shall we, with the first part of the lesson, plants and animals.

Now we know that we need to eat and drink to grow, to be active and to be healthy.

But where does our food come from? Hmm? It's not just the shop, is it? Where does our food originate? Where does it come from, do you think? Well, all of our food comes from plants or animals.

So we eat food from plants.

Can you see the different fruits that here, for example, the different plants? And some people eat food from animals.

So this is a dairy cow, and we have milk from a dairy cow.

So these foods come from plants or animals.

Let's have a quick check, shall we? So do you recall, true or false? All food comes from plants or animals.

That's true, isn't it? And why? Well, the food that we eat is made from plants or animals.

So plants are living things that grow in the ground or water, such as fruits and vegetables.

And animals are living things that can eat and move, such as a chicken or a pig.

Can you see these on the screen? Now, food from plants includes lots of different types of foods.

Let's look at some examples together, shall we? So it could be different types of fruit.

So what are these? And what's this one? Oh, I think I know what that one is.

Hmm, that one's a bit more tricky.

Shall we go through these together? Apples, well done.

Bananas, oranges, and blueberries.

So there's lots of different types of plants.

Fruit, for example.

And there's lots of different varieties.

Look at the different shapes and colours.

Aren't they amazing? And did you know that fruit have seeds? So when you cut open a fruit, you can usually see the seeds in the middle, and that will help to grow another plant in the future.

Amazing.

Let's look at some more food from plants, shall we? So vegetables.

Ooh, I think I know what those are.

Hmm, I've had that, I think.

Ooh, that's a bit more tricky.

Hmm.

And I'm not really sure about that one, but I think it's delicious.

So the first one is, can you say it with me? That's right.

It's carrots.

And the second one? Broccoli.

Well done.

Spring onions.

Ah, yes.

And the last one, okra.

I'm really pleased with you.

So what other vegetables can you name? Think about the different shapes, sizes, and colours.

So what other fruit and vegetables can you name? I bet you can list loads, can't you? There's so many different types of vegetables, which all come from plants.

So now let's have a look at food from animals.

And this includes foods like milk and eggs.

And if you had eggs cooked before, if you eat eggs, I'm sure you did.

You wouldn't eat it raw, would you? No.

Let's look at some more food from animal, shall we? Foods like fish.

You can see the fish here on the plate.

And foods like meat, and here's some grilled chicken on a plate here for someone's dinner.

And you eat fish or meat.

Not everybody does.

So let's have a quick check, shall we? So which of these is a food from a plant? Is it A, B, or C? That's right.

It's C, isn't it? It's an apple.

It's a fruit.

It's a plant.

Whereas milk and egg are from animals.

Well done.

The food that we eat come from plants or animals.

So these foods are from plants, fruit and vegetables.

Here's some examples.

And these foods are from animals, things like milk, eggs, fish, and meat.

And here's a few examples here too for you.

So we have food from plants and food from animals.

So which of these is from an animal? Is it A, B, or C? That's right.

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

Eggs come from an animal.

Whereas A and C are plants.

So now let's move on to the second part of the lesson, which is all about the food we eat.

Now we mostly eat different food at the same time.

We combine different food to make meals.

And the food we use to make meals comes from plants or animals.

Just look at this little lunchbox here.

There's lots of different types of food there isn't there? Some is from a plant and some is from animals, but we combine them together.

So true or false? We combine different food to make meals.

That's true, isn't it? And why? Well, meals can be made from different plants and animals.

We combine them together.

Well done everybody.

So let's look at some examples together, shall we? So this is a breakfast and it is made from food, from plants and animals.

So what is it? Yes, it's cornflakes with milk.

So the cornflakes are from a plant, and the milk is from an animal, from a dairy cow.

So this meal here has foods from plants and animals.

What about this example here? This is a lunch, and this lunch is only made from plants.

So what is it though? What is in there? Well, it's jacket potato and beans.

So we've got the beans from a plant and the potato is also a plant.

Hmm? That looks tasty, doesn't it? And I want you to help Izzy and Alex label, which part of the meal is from a plant, and which part of their meal is from an animal.
