A grow your own topic - A topic has been written for parents who home school and teachers who would like a fun topic that offers opportunities for children and pupils to choose what fruit and vegetables they would like to grow in their home garden or school garden. Through research choose the vegetables they would like to eat later in the year. Parents and teachers can use the websites listed to help in their ’ grow your own ’ topic and through this, offers many opportunities to spend time outdoors preparing an area of the garden for growing crops. My two and half year old enjoyed placing the pea seeds in the seed trays indoors ready in a few weeks to plant the seedlings outdoors. All children will enjoy being involved in the sewing of the seeds, to eventually harvesting the crops to enjoy and eat. Additional activities for older children allows further research to be carried out online: To transfer the data collected onto maps produce posters on what is needed to be successful at growing vegetables or fruits, thinking about what tools are needed and the time of year the seeds will be planted. A storyboard/ time board activity to draw the process of preparing the veg patch, planting the seeds indoors, watering, planting out the seedlings outside to how long it takes the vegetables to grow. (Those children who love drawing can draw further detailed drawings of the vegetables) Enjoy and have fun spending time outdoors in this topic.

With a focus on the different farming ways –studying beef, sheep, dairy, arable, mixed, pastoral and renewable energy using Google Earth as a source of information. The aim of the geography lesson is for pupils to consider the changes that can happen in an area and about the impact that these changes can have on both the environment and the people who live there. L 5 Opportunities to research where farms are locally; also finding out what produce is farmed and do these farms supply supermarkets? Pupils can also use the links provided to help them research crop and animal production from the different farms in the UK- Using the map pupils can work out the scale – distances in miles/km, then work out the time it would take to transport/deliver the produce to its destination, including counties/countries travelled through. The lesson gives pupils opportunities to research using the world wide web and ways of how they will present their findings from their research. L 6 This lesson has a scientific aspect, giving pupils a chance to understand and research what foods are consumed in the world and how they are consumed. What foods are produced for the fast food industry and how does overconsumption of certain foods increase obesity in the world? Pupils will have opportunities to research areas of the world where there is an obesity crisis; also by watching a bbc clip/you tube clip –‘The men who made us fat’. Will allow pupils to think about the foods we eat, seeing fast food restaurants everywhere, and advertisements.

L 8 Food distribution is a current issue as is food production; this lesson is about both these issues. Children will consider both and investigate what foods are grown, produced and distributed in the UK; the impact farmers are facing with costs and profits when supplying their produce to supermarkets. Children will have opportunities in mapping food production and distribution in the Great Britain and around the world, and write a report on why there is so much food waste from vegetables grown as they don’t match the supermarkets criteria in size and shape. L 10 This lesson will give pupils an understanding of the concept of varying food prices across the supermarkets. As well as opportunities for research and give an explanation of varying food prices across the UK and world. When we do our food shopping, do you look at the prices between supermarkets on certain produce? Today’s lesson involves thinking about Q. Why does the cost of fruit and vegetables vary so much between the supermarkets? Many food produce, especially fruit and vegetables are imported from around the world. Q. How does this impact and influence the shopper on food prices? As a nation are we set in our ways in only buying from one supermarket, or only buying brand name produce? A research lesson where children will evaluate their findings, putting the data collected into a graph and writing an explanation of what has been found out.
