Hello, and welcome.

I am Mrs. Mee, and I am your design and technology teacher for Oak Academy.

We are going to continue exploring food and nutrition.

And today, we're going to be looking at where our food comes from.

Okay, so let's have a look at what we're going to explore in today's lesson.

We're going to be looking at carrying out some investigative and evaluative tasks.

We're also going to be looking at where our food comes from.

We're going to be looking at how our food is processed.

And then we're going to be looking at the seasonality of foods.

So let's take a look at some of the keywords that we're going to be using this lesson.

We are going to be looking at and using the word grown.

So when we talk about that word, we're looking at how something is grown from a seed to be processed and then eaten.

We're also going to be using the word reared, reared means to breed and raise an animal to use as food to be processed and eaten.

And we're going to explore that word in more detail during the lesson.

We're also going to be looking at the word seasonality, so seasonality is the fact something changes according to the time of year and the season.

So we're going to be looking at the seasonality of our foods.

We're also going to be looking at the source of our foods.

So where does our food come from? We're going to be using the word fresh, so we're going to be looking at whether a food is fresh, has not been cooked or processed.

We're also going to be looking at the word pre-cooked, so that is where a food has been cooked before being packaged.

We're going to be looking at the word caught, so when a food is caught to be processed and eaten.

And then we're going to be using the word process, so how food is changed and altered to improve or change the properties of the ingredients.

So in this lesson, you are going to need paper or an exercise book, and a pencil.

So what you need to do now is pause the video and find the materials that you need, and make sure you're working in a really quiet environment so you can concentrate.

So what we're going to be looking at first is where does our food come from? So our food that ends up on our plate comes from various different places.

So have a look at this food and just think about what type of food is on those dishes and where that food comes from.

So pause the video and have a little think.

Okay, so some of you might have noticed that some of that food is fresh, such as the fruit and vegetables.

Some of you may have noticed there's fish on those plates or meat.

And some of you may have noticed that some of that food is processed.

We're going to explore this in some more detail.

So some of our food is grown, such as fruit and vegetables.

Some of our food is reared, such as animals, animals are bred and reared to then be processed so that we can eat those meats.

Some of our food is caught, so an example of a food that is caught is fish.

So foods that are grown are things like fruit and vegetables.

So this is when something is grown from a seed to then be processed and eaten.

So you can see all of those foods there that have been grown are types of food.

What types of food are they? Are they fresh? Are they pre-cooked? Or are they processed food? Correct, all of those foods are fresh.

Okay, so when we're think about foods that are grown, it takes you back to a topic that you should have explored in science, called plants that we eat.

So all fruits and vegetables come from a plant and there are different parts of that plant that you can eat.

So often, we can eat the stem of the plant, now this particular plant, I don't think we can eat the stem of this.

Some plants, we can actually eat the leaves.

Some plants we're actually eating the root of the plant.

Others, it might be the bulb.

So you should have learnt this previously, and some plants, we actually eat their fruit.

So in this particular plant, what are we actually eating? And some, we can eat the seed.

So on this plant, which is a strawberry plant, we actually do, yeah, that's right, we eat the fruit.

So here is a picture of a plant, a full strawberry plant there with all of the parts.

Can you identify the different parts of the plant that we eat? Can you point to the different parts? See if you can find the stem, the roots, the bulb, the leaves, the fruit, and the seeds.

Can you find all of these parts of this particular plant? Brilliant, so did you have a go? So hopefully, you've got all of these correct, so let's just reveal what the answers are.

So there we have it.

So those are all the different parts of the plant that have been labelled.

I hope you got that correct.

Well done.

Okay, so now let's look at some of the foods below and think about which foods have been grown.

What about option one, carrots? Correct, carrots have been grown.

So carrots have been developed from a seed and planted and they have grown in order for us to be able to process it and eat it.

What about option two, which is a finished food product, pork and vegetables? Yes, correct, you're right, so some of that food product has been grown, so the vegetables have been grown, but the pork itself has been reared, well done.

What about option three, salmon? Where does our salmon salad come from? Again, well done.

So hopefully, you've identified that the salad has been grown and that has developed from a seed, but the salmon itself has been caught.

And then let's take a look at option four, our fruit salad.

Yes, correct, the fruit salad has been grown, well done.

So hopefully, now you're pretty confident on what sort of foods have been grown.

So we're now going to look at the other source of our food.

So we're going to look at these images.

So we've established what foods have been grown, now we're going to establish the other sources of where our food comes from.

So looking at these images here, what keyword would you use to describe where this food comes from? Have a little think.

Yes, correct, this food has been reared.

So this is to breed and raise an animal to use as food, to then be processed and eaten.

So we're now going to look at some of the foods below and we're going to think about which ones have been reared.

So let's look at option one, a chicken kebab, has a chicken kebab been reared? It has, so the chicken on the kebab has indeed been reared, but you may also have vegetables on a kebab, but if it's a pure chicken kebab with no vegetables, then correct, that has been reared.

What about option two, the tomato soup? Correct, that has not been reared.

In fact, the ingredients in a tomato soup, the main ingredients which is a tomato, has indeed been grown.

What about a crispy duck? Yes, a crispy duck has been reared.

So it's where we breed and raise an animal, to then be processed and eaten.

What about a chilli con carne? Yes, correct, that has been reared, but there are other ingredients in a chilli con carne that have actually been grown as well.

And it really depends on what you put in your dish, but the main ingredient, which is beef, has indeed been reared.

Okay, so we're going to look at some statements now and you're going to tell me whether they are true or false, to reinforce that you understand the different terms of where our food comes from.

So these truth of false statements relate to foods being grown, reared, and caught.

So the first statement, chicken is grown, is that true or is that false? Have a little think.

Correct, it is indeed false because we know that chicken hasn't been grown, although it does grow, it grows, there is a process of it growing, but actually to allow food to be caught and put on our plates, chicken has to be reared.

Okay, so the next statement, a food that is grown, grows from a seed to be processed and eaten.

Is that true in relation to food that is grown or is that false? Correct, it is indeed true.

All foods that are grown, grow from a seed.

So that's where we can understand more that the chicken, although it does go through a process of growing, it hasn't developed from a seed.

They've had to breed the animal and raise the animal before they can process and turn it into a food.

So let's look at the final statement.

Beef can be caught in a field.

And you're probably thinking, well, yeah, it can, I could catch beef in a field.

Is it true or is it false? It is indeed false because, yes, you could catch beef in a field because you could go and catch a cow, however, the way in which we develop food to get our beef, the cow has to be reared.

So it has to go through a process, so we have to breed the animal, raise the animal before the meat is then ready to be processed.

So hopefully, that's helped you understand and reinforce those terms. So our food is either grown, reared, or caught.

So have a little think about the foods that you're eating today and think about have they been grown, reared, or caught? Right, okay then, let's look at the other type of food product and where that comes from.

So we've looked at foods that are grown, we've looked at foods that are reared.

We're now looking at a range of example dishes and we need to think about where these come from.

Have a little think.

Yes, correct, they have indeed been caught.

So this is when a food is caught and processed and eaten.

And this food might be caught using a fishing net, a fishing rod, but it a way of obtaining food and then processing the food and then eating it.

So have a little look at the foods below, and we're going to think about if these foods have been caught.

So option one is a salmon steak.

So think about a salmon steak.

Has it been caught or has it been grown, or reared? Correct, a salmon steak has been caught.

You'd find a salmon at sea and it would be caught using a fishing net or a fishing rod, correct.

What about fish and chips as a dish? Have those food products been caught? Well done, hopefully, you've noticed that the fish itself has been caught, but part is grown.

So the potatoes that we use for the chips have been grown, and obviously, those foods have gone through a processing, that they've been processed in order to end up on our plate.

And that's something we'll talk about in the next part of our lesson.

What about muscles? Where have muscles come from? Have they been caught? Correct, they have been caught.

So muscles, we find muscles at sea and we'll catch those muscles with a net and then we'll process them ready to eat.

What about the final dish then, a prawn stir fry? So a absolutely delicious dish.

Has that being caught, reared, or grown? Correct, so the prawns on the dish have been caught, but part of that dish has been grown.

So the vegetables on that dish have been grown.

So hopefully, now you understand the three terms, and the three terms that relate to where our food comes from.

So some of our food is grown, some of our food is reared, and some of our food is caught.

So hopefully, now you understand the key principles to where our food comes from.

So all of these food ingredients are presented to us in various forms. So whether the food ingredients have been grown, whether they have been reared, or whether they have been caught, it comes to us in various forms. And you should have looked at this in a previous lesson, maybe in Key Stage One.

So some of the food that we get is fresh.

So whether it's been caught, reared, or grown these items can be presented to us as fresh food items. So this is where a food is fresh and has not been touched, it's not been processed in any way.

So there's an example of fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, and you can see with that fish, the skin is left on.

And there's a fresh cut of meat.

So a lot of the food, and it's better for us if our food is fresh because it's untouched and it's got all of the nutrients that we need.

So those are different foods that are fresh.

The other way in which our food is presented to us, it can be presented pre-cooked.

So that means that part of the food has been cooked for us so that all we have to do is reheat it.

So examples of this, so foods that are reared, such as meat, might then be pre-cooked, ready for us to eat.

So the ham that we put on our sandwich, we don't have to cook it before we put it on our sandwich.

Things like frozen pizzas, so frozen pizzas might have foods that have been caught, reared, but part of that pizza has been pre-cooked.

So all we've got to do is reheat it in an oven.

And another example there is rice.

Sometimes you can get rice that all that's needed, it comes in a packet, it's been pre-cooked, and all you need to do is reheat it.

So it could be frozen or it could be pre-packaged.

So it's been partly cooked before it then arrives at the end user.

And the other type of food is food that is processed.

So a food that is processed has had things added to it to preserve it.

So let's take a tin of beans.

If you were to pick and eat beans fresh, how long would those beans last before you had to throw them away and they were no good to eat? Yeah, it could be days or weeks, whereas a tin of beans could last you months because it's been placed in a tin with ingredients that preserves that food item.

So it's not fresh, it's been processed.

So there are lots of different food that've been processed.

So a tin of beans has been processed to preserve it.

A cheese has been processed to turn it into a cheese because the cheese started off as a dairy product.

And it's had lots of different ingredients and it's been processed in actually to turn it into a solid block of cheese.

And another food that's been processed is bread.

So the main ingredient of bread is wheat and wheat is grown.

So we grow the wheat, but in order to turn that wheat into a bread, we do need to process it.

And there are different types of bread, there are fresh bread and there are more processed bread.

So some breads have lots of extra ingredients to try and preserve the life of that bread.

But all those extra ingredients that are placed in foods to preserve them are not necessarily the best sort of ingredients to keep our body fit and healthy.

So these are the three things that we need to consider when selecting foods, are they fresh, pre-cooked, or processed? So I'll leave you with that thought.

And we're going to continue looking at the next part of our lesson.

Okay, so we are now going to explore the final part of our lesson, which is seasonality of foods.

So we're going to look at the different seasons and the foods that grow in those seasons.

So we're going to explore different foods and the different times of the year that these foods are available.

So we talk about these different times of the year as seasons, and we might refer to them as spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

So we've got lots of different foods, some are available at certain times of the year.

And the reason being is certain foods grow better during different times of the year due to the conditions that they grow in.

So it might be that they need light, they might need dry conditions to grow.

They might need it to be warm, or hot, or dark, or wet, or cold.

So certain foods in the UK are only available at certain times of the year.

So we're going to carry out a research task.

And I would like you to explore a range of foods and research what times of the year you are most likely to be able to access those foods.

So you can use this worksheet and you can download it, and I would like you to use the internet and search for seasons of foods.

So think about different foods, so think about the different foods that are grown, and research what time of the year those are at their best.

So let's take a strawberry as an example.

Well, what time of the year am I most likely to get a really juicy, really flavoursome strawberry? And Mrs. Mee really likes strawberries, so I like to eat them all times of the year, but they're not as fresh at certain times.

So what season are strawberries at their best? Correct, they are at their best in the summer.

So, but there are other ways in which we can get strawberries at other times of the year, and we'll discuss that in a moment.

But what I'd like you to do is pause the video, go off and research some of the foods, and then fill in the sheet and think about what time of the year would be best for these foods to grow? Okay, so hopefully, now you've had a go at that task and you've found out, okay, different foods, what foods have you found out about? So you might have looked at peas, you might have looked at broccoli, carrots, spinach, rhubarb.

So hopefully, now you understand what season those foods are at their best.

Okay, so have you ever wondered why we can still purchase certain foods at all times of the year even if they're not in season? Have you? That's because actually they could come from all parts of the world.

So we're going to investigate where our food has come from.

So we're going to look at a range of packaging and see if you can identify what country that food has originated from.

Because some foods you can get in the supermarket all year round, even if it's in season or not in the UK because it's either come from a different country or it's been grown under circumstances that are not natural.

So the person in the UK that's grown that particular fruit or vegetable could have created that environment of light artificially, and warmth artificially.

So they could grow the food artificially rather than waiting for the season to arrive.

So we're going to look at some food packaging.

So Mrs. Mee has got some food packaging, what I'd like you to do is pause the video, go and find some packaging.

So Mrs. Mee's got a packet of onions, some celery, and some coriander.

So pause the video, go and look at some packaging and then come back to me.

Brilliant, did you have a look? Yes, so Mrs. Mee's got celery, I've got some celery sticks, I've got some coriander, and I've got some onions.

So my celery, it says on the packaging where it comes from, it doesn't say origin, it literally just stays the country.

Could you guess where my celery has come from? Did you guess? It came all the way from Spain.

So my celery has come from Spain, quite a long way, isn't it? And my coriander, my fresh coriander, do you know where that's come from? Let's have a look.

That's also come from Spain, so it says produce of Spain.

Wow, okay, so nothing yet from the UK.

Right, what about my onions? Now my onions, we've already opened these onions, where do the onions originate from? So it says produce of, these come from Norfolk.

So did you have a look at where your food comes from? Did you have a look? Yeah, and did you find out? Fabulous, so that's something to be mindful of, isn't it? Okay, so now for your final task.

So we've explored where our food comes from, we've explored if it's grown, reared, or caught.

We've explored how that food that is grown, reared, or caught has been processed.

And we've also explored seasonality.

What I'd like you to do now as a task is I'd like you to take a picture of your breakfast, your lunch, or your dinner.

And I would like you to annotate around that picture to identify where your food has come from, has it been grown, reared, or caught? How has your food have been processed, and the seasonality? So this may need a little bit of research when it comes to seasonality.

Now, obviously, you've done your table, so you can refer to your fruits and vegetables on there, but you may need to do a bit of research.

Okay, so pause the video, find a meal, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and annotate it around.

Brilliant, did you have a go at doing that? So here's my, I could have this for lunch or dinner, I don't think I'd have a burger for breakfast, but what I can do now is I can point to each of those ingredients.

So the salad on those ingredients, where have they come from? That's right they've been grown.

What about the meat? That's right, it's been reared.

And has Mrs. Mee on that picture got any food that's been caught? No, there's no food that's been caught, has there? And then I can go into how it's been processed.

So I could talk about the food that's reared and how that's been processed.

And actually write down the process from developing a cow and actually how that cow then grows, how it's killed, how it's processed, and how did it turn into a burger.

So that is quite, you know, a thing to actually explore, isn't it? So hopefully, you've enjoyed doing that.

And hopefully, you've learnt a lot about where your food comes from.

And I hope you've had a great lesson.

So let's just remind ourselves of some of the keywords that we've explored this lesson.

We've explored the word grown.

So this is when something is grown from a seed to be processed and eaten.

We've explored the word reared.

So to breed and raise an animal to use as food to be processed and eaten.

We've explored seasonality, haven't we? The fact that something changes according to the time of year and the season.

We've explored the word source, and that is where we get our food from.

So where do we source our food from? We've explored the word fresh and a food that is fresh has not been cooked or processed.

We've explored pre-cooked and what that means.

So that is when a food is partially cooked before it is packaged.

We've explored the word caught, so this is when a food is caught to be processed and eaten.

And then we've explored, of course, the word process.

So this is how a food is altered to change the properties of the ingredients.

So it might be processed to preserve, but it might be processed to actually present to you.

So a cheese is processed and milk is processed.

So lots and lots of keywords that we've learnt today.

So I'm hoping you've had a really good lesson and you've learnt a lot.

If you'd like to share anything, please ask an adult to share anything that you've explored on Twitter, and use the @OakNational and #LearnwithOak.

It was lovely to learn with you today and I hope to see you next lesson, goodbye.
