Lesson video

Hello, I'm Mr. Ballam.

Thanks very much for joining me today for this lesson, all about the Eatwell Guide and how to eat healthily.

Do you eat healthily? I bet you do.

It's gonna be a brilliant class.

So thanks so much for choosing this one today.

So what are we going to learn? Well, by the end of the lesson, you're going to be able to use the Eatwell Guide and talk about the foods that you need to eat healthily.

Shall we read this one together? So what are you be able to do? That's right.

"I can use the Eatwell Guide to talk about the foods I need to be healthy." Well done.

That's brilliant.

And now let's look at the keywords for this lesson.

Let's read them together, shall we? The first one is Eatwell Guide.

I wonder what that could be.

Well, the Eatwell Guide is a guide that shows us what foods we should eat to be healthy.

That makes sense, doesn't it? Let's say it together, the Eatwell Guide.

Well done.

What's the next keyword for this lesson? That's right, it's food groups.

And food groups contain similar foods.

So they're groups that have the same type of food in them.

So for example, if we had fruit and vegetable food group, what do you think would be in that? Yes, that's right.

Different types of fruits and vegetables.

So for example, it would contain things like, mm, carrots, broccoli, okra, oranges, apples and bananas.

That's it.

So we've got two keywords for this lesson, the Eatwell Guide and food groups.

Let's get started, shall we? So here's our lesson, and we're gonna get started now with understanding the Eatwell Guide.

Here's that Eatwell Guide picture again.

Do you remember it? The Eatwell Guide shows us what we need to eat to be healthy.

There are four big food groups.

Can you see them? Shall we count them together? There's the green group, one.

There's the yellow group, two.

There's the blue group, three.

And there's the pinky group, four.

That's four big groups, four big food groups in the Eatwell Guide.

Well done to all of you.

The food groups contain different foods.

Have a close look at the different food groups.

And we need to eat food from all of these groups to be healthy.

Now see if you can remember this.

How many big food groups are there in the Eatwell Guide? Have a little think.

Brilliant, well done.

There's four.

Four big food groups in the Eatwell Guide.

Brilliant, well done, everyone.

That's fantastic work.

Now the first group is the fruit and vegetables group.

Can you say that together? Fruit and vegetables.

I'm sure you know what these are, but let's have a quick reminder.

What sorts of foods would be in this group? What can you already see? Foods could be things like pineapple, or could be carrots, or could even be broccoli.

Mm, my favourite.

What other fruits and vegetables do you like? There's lots of different types of fruits and vegetables that we could put in this group.

Now the second group is called potatoes, bread, rice, and pasta.

I wonder what this group contains.

Can you tell me? Let's have a look at this image.

There are lots of different foods there.

Let's look at just three examples, shall we? The first one is potatoes.

I'm sure lots of people eat lots of different types of potatoes in lots of different ways.

I quite like them boiled.

Another food that goes in this group is bread.

Have you had bread today? There are lots of different types of bread that you can get.

And another one that isn't here, but is in this group are things like yams. These are foods that fill you up.

What of these foods do you eat? Hmm.

I like pasta as well, pasta like spaghetti.

So which food group do potatoes belong to? Is it A, is it B, or is it C? Well done, it's B.

Potatoes belong to the potatoes, bread, rice, and pasta food group.

Brilliant, well done, everybody.

You're doing really well in this lesson.

I'm really pleased with you.

Now let's look at the third group.

This group is called beans, pulses, fish, eggs, and meat.

I wonder what's in this group.

I bet you could tell me.

Let's look at this image.

Hmm, there's some very familiar foods there.

Let's look at three examples, shall we? The first one is baked beans.

Mm, my favourite.

And there are lots of different types of beans.

Have you ever had red kidney beans, eggs? Lots of different ways to have eggs.

I like mine boiled in the morning for breakfast.

And salmon.

Wow, that's a really nice piece of salmon.

But what's another type of fish? Tuna, yes.

Well done if you said that.

Can you name other foods in this group? Have a little think.

There are lots of different types, aren't there? Well done for trying.

And this is the last of the big four food groups.

This is the dairy and alternatives group.

Have a little look at the group.

What can you see there? I can see milk.

I can see cheese.

I can see yoghourt.

And I can see a soya drink as well, an alternative to dairy milk.

Let's look at three examples here, shall we? The first one is milk.

We might have milk with our cereal.

You might have it as a drink or perhaps you might even put it in a cup of tea.

There's lots of different ways to have milk.

The next one is yoghourt.

Mm, sometimes I have yoghourt for breakfast or maybe for my pat lunch too.

And the third example here is cheese.

And there are lots of different types of cheese.

What's your favourite cheese? Do you have one? So what dairy and alternatives do you have? What did you have yesterday, for example? Did you have any? If you did, well done.

Okay, let's have a quick recap, shall we? So which food group do beans belong to? Is it A, B, or C? Brilliant, it's C.

Beans belong to the beans, pulses, eggs, fish and meat group.

Well done.

Okay, now we're gonna get onto a task.

Are you ready for this? I'm sure you'll be brilliant at this.

You've done so well so far.

So what I want you to do is to name three more foods from each of the food groups.

And I put an example here for you just to get you started.

So name three more foods for each food group.

So three more foods for fruits and vegetables, three for potatoes, bread, rice and pasta, beans, pulses, fish, eggs and meat, and dairy and alternatives.

You can pause the video now while you do this.

Great work, everybody, well done.

Here's just some examples that you could have put under each of the groups.

I bet you did brilliantly.

And if you did more than three for each group, well done.

Give yourself a pat on the back.

You deserve it.

So some examples here, fruits and vegetables could be banana, grapes or mushrooms. Mm, yummy.

The next column could be bread, rice, pasta, yams, flour, noodles.

I love noodles.

Under the beans, pulses, fish, eggs and meat group, you could have chicken, ham, beef, and nuts.

And in the last group, dairy and alternatives.

Again, you could have lots of different types of milk and cheese and yoghourt and different types of soy drink too.

Well done, everybody, for doing that one.

Right, now we're gonna move on to the next part of the lesson, which is all about sorting foods into the food groups.

Now you've done so well so far, I'm sure you'd be brilliant at this part too.

So let's look at sorting foods into the food groups in the Eatwell Guide.

So foods belong to the different food groups like we've just seen.

The foods in each food group are similar.

So in the green group, the fruits and vegetables, only fruits and vegetables go there.

That makes sense, doesn't it? And we need a variety of foods from each food group to be healthy.

And that's really important every day.

So what foods go together? Hmm, let's have a little think there.

Look at the Eatwell Guide.

Look at how foods are similar in each food group.

Okay, let's have a bit of a quiz, shall we? So select two foods which belong to the fruits and vegetables food group.

That's right, it's A, pineapple and C, broccoli.

They're both fruits and vegetables, not bread.

Here's another one for you.

What food belongs to this food group? Look at the food group first and then look at A, B, or C.

Brilliant, well done.

It's A, it's eggs.

Eggs belong to the beans, pulses, eggs, fish and meat group.

Well done, everybody.

You're doing brilliantly, I'm so pleased.

Here's another one for you.

Select two foods that belong to the dairy and alternatives food group.

Is it A, cheese, B, milk, or C, eggs? Brilliant, it's A and B.

It's cheese and milk.

If you got that right, well done.

Well done, everybody.

Here's another one about sorting foods.

What food belongs to this food group? Look at the food group first.

Look at its name and then look at the answers, A, B, or C? There's two.

A is bread and C is pasta.

Bread and pasta belong to this group.

Brilliant, you're doing really well.

So what I want you to do now is I want you to sort all these different foods that you can see on the right-hand side of the screen.

And I want you to put them in the correct food groups.

Look at the names of each food group and then put the food in carefully.

You might wanna pause the video now while you do this.

Good luck! Okay, so how did you get on? Did you put all the foods in the correct group? Here's some of the answers here.

So in the fruits and vegetable group, for example, we've got frozen peas, we've got bananas, oranges, and broccoli.

And then the potatoes, bread, rice and pasta group, we've got rice, we've got bagels, which is a type of bread.

Spaghetti, which is a type of pasta, and potatoes.

Brilliant.

Well done for sorting all of those foods.

I can't believe how well you're doing today.

I'm really pleased with your progress.

Now we're gonna move on to the third part of the lesson.

And this is all about using the Eatwell Guide to be healthy, which is really what this lesson is all about, isn't it? So when we look at the Eatwell Guide, have you noticed that some of the food groups are different sizes? Have a close look.

What ones are the biggest? Which ones are the smallest? Can you tell me? Well, we need lots of fruits and vegetables and lots of potatoes, bread, rice and pasta.

Because these are the biggest food groups, aren't they? Have a close look.

The green and the yellow groups are the biggest.

So we need lots of these when to eat healthily.

Lots and lots.

And the two other groups, they're smaller, aren't they? So that means we need less of them.

So we need just some of the beans, pulses, fish, eggs and meat group, and some of the dairy and alternatives group.

Some and some.

So when we look at the Eatwell Guide, we can see how much we need by how big the food groups are.

Lots of the top two, lots of fruit and vegetables, lots of potatoes, bread, rice and pasta.

And some of the beans, pulses, fish, eggs and meat.

And some of the dairy and alternatives.

Did you get that? If you look at the picture, I'm sure you'll understand.

Okay, let's check, shall we? So which food group do we need lots of? Is it A, is it B, or is it C? Hmm.

It's A, well done.

That's right.

We need lots of fruits and vegetables every day.

How about another one? Should we try this one? So which food group do we need some of? Is it A, B, or C? That's right.

It's B, well done.

We need some of the beans, pulses, eggs, fish and meat food group.

Congratulations, everyone.

You're doing brilliantly today.

So let's have a look at this task, shall we? Now Jun here is talking about how he uses the Eatwell Guide.

Let's see what he says.

He's saying, "I should eat some beans, eggs, and fish." Do you think he's right or wrong? Why do you think that might be? Can we explain why? Okay, have a go.

You might want to pause the video and we'll come back and look at the answer.

That's correct.

Jun is right, because we should eat some of these foods every day.

We need some beans, eggs, and fish.

Well done, everybody, for doing that one.

Let's have a quick look at another one.

Here's Izzy.

And she's also talking about the Eatwell Guide.

Let's read what she says.

Izzy is saying, "I should eat lots of dairy and alternatives." Now is Izzy right or wrong? Can we explain why? Again, you might want to pause the video here while you write down your answer.

Izzy is wrong.

And the reason she's wrong is that we should just eat some dairy and alternatives every day, not lots.

Do you remember the size of the food groups? We only need some dairy and alternatives.

Well done, everybody, for doing those two activities.

That's really good.

And you're really learning a lot about the Eatwell Guide.

Okay, well done.

Now we're coming to the end of the lesson.

Let's have a quick summary about what we've learned.

Well, we've learned today that we need different types of food to stay healthy as shown in the Eatwell Guide.

Have a look at the picture.

Do you remember, we need foods from the four big food groups every day.

There's lots of different types of foods there, aren't there? It also shows us that the size of each food group shows us how much we should eat.

For some, we need lots.

And others, we just need some.

So we need lots of fruits and vegetables and lots of potatoes, bread, rice and pasta, and just some of the beans, pulses, fish, eggs and meat, and some of the dairy and alternatives.

And we also learned today that each of the food groups contain similar foods.

So fruits and vegetables, they have things like apple, bananas and carrots.

And dairy and alternatives have different types of milk, cheeses and other things like yoghourts, for example.

I'm really pleased with your progress today.

You've done really, really well.

Great work, everybody, and I hope you come back soon for another lesson and I hope you start thinking about eating healthily and using the Eatwell Guide.

See you soon.

Thanks so much, bye!.
