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).
