Movement and Feeding 1
NC Objective
•
(K) Identify that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition, and that they cannot make their own
food; they get nutrition from what they eat
•
(K) Identify that humans and some other animals have skeletons and muscles for support, protection and movement.
•
(WS) Gathering, recording, classifying and presenting data in a variety of ways to help in answering questions
Learning Outcome
•
Children will have revised what they know about animal nutrition, and skeletons and muscles for support, protection and
movement.
•
Children will have learned that humans need the right types of nutrition, which they get by eating a balanced diet, and will be able
to sort foods into different groups.
Activity: Exploring different food types
•
With the children work through page 1 of the Topic book (What do we already know about movement and feeding?).
•
(AO) In pairs, children discuss each statement on Food for thought (Y3 MAF PCM 1) before voting on their answers. Emphasise
that you do not expect them to know the answers yet and only want to find out their initial ideas.
•
(E) Collect responses to the statements from Food for thought (Y3 MAF PCM 1), discussing any differences in the answers (e.g.
Some of us think that dogs will get ill if they eat too many raisins, some think it is too many crisps and others think it is too much
chocolate. No-one thinks it is too many sausages).
•
Explain that the children will return to the statements at the end of unit so they will need to keep peopleʼs different ideas in mind.
As the unit progresses, ask them to point out when some work has been covered that helps to decide on a correct answer.
•
Discuss the different types of food needed in a healthy diet and why they are needed: meat and fish; beans and lentils; fats;
starchy foods (e.g. bread, rice and pasta); fruit and vegetables; milk and dairy.
•
•With the children work through page 2 of the Topic book (Different types of food). Explain why each food type is needed (e.g.
Fruit, vegetables and dairy keep our bodies working properly and help to prevent us getting ill.) What are your favourite foods?
Which type of foods are they?
•
Explain that the government takes advice from scientists about what is the best balance of the different types of food to keep us
fit and strong. You might like to point out that not all scientists agree and this advice changes (e.g. recently it has been suggested
that five portions of fruit or vegetables is still too low). What advice on healthy eating have you heard?
•
With the children work through page 3 of the Topic book (Different types of food).
•
Cut up paper plates into thirds, giving two whole plates to each group of four. On the plate thirds, groups draw and label
examples of each different food type using reference materials such as healthy-eating leaflets and food magazines. In pairs,
children use the completed drawings and Food dice (Y3 MAF PCM 2) to play a beetle-drive game. They roll the dice and select a
drawing to match the food type shown. The aim is to complete a balanced plate: children must complete one plate before moving
on to the next. The winning pair completes the most balanced plates in a set time.
•
(AO) Children demonstrate their learning so far by grouping the food images on Which food group? (Y3 MAF PCM 3) and
explaining their choices.
•
(E) Refer back to the first statement on Food for thought (Y3 MAF PCM 1). Do you feel more certain of your answers? Have you
changed your answers? Annotate these in a different coloured pencil.
