In your books or on a piece of plain paper:

Create your menu, using the food items from the story that you described yesterday. 

Remember:

• Give your restaurant a name

• Include an enticing description of each item
• Give each item a price

Maths:

In maths this week, you will be consolidating your understanding of the number operations, using mental arithmetic and written methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. You will need to know when to use mental arithmetic and when to use a written method. 

There are 3 great adding and subtracting learner guides and helpful video clips at:

Topic:

Today we are going to look at where the food we eat comes from and we are going consider the journey it takes to get to our plates.  There is a lot of talk today about ‘air miles’, which describes the distance food has travelled to reach our supermarkets.  We can’t grow all the food we need in this country and we certainly can’t grow foods that need a hot climate, so many foods that we eat come from different countries.  We can grow some foods in their season – for example: we grow strawberries in the summer, but if we want strawberries in the winter, we export them from a warmer country.

In your books: 

Use the internet to find out where these foods come from.  Some will originate from more than one country or an area eg: countries around the equator.  Write the food item and where it comes from.

Chocolate

Rice

Tea

Coffee

Sugar

Bananas

Olives

Mango

Coconut

Pineapple

Now have a look at the food in your kitchen cupboards and fridge (ask and adult first).  Choose 10 foods and write they were produced (their country of origin). 

Reading:
