Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Plants are grown for our food, such as tomatoes and carrots, on farms or at home.
  2. Animals are reared for our food, such as dairy cows and sheep, on farms.
  3. Some of our food is caught, such as fish from the sea.

Keywords

  • Grown - to sow, feed and look after plants

  • Reared - to feed and look after animals

  • Caught - to catch fish in nets, pots or fishing lines

Common misconception

Our food comes from shops and supermarkets.

While food is purchased from shops and supermarkets, plants are grown, animals are reared and fish is caught for us to eat.


To help you plan your year 2 cooking and nutrition lesson on: Grown, reared and caught, download all teaching resources for free and adapt to suit your pupils' needs...

Link the food that is grown, reared or caught to what pupils eat - making it memorable and giving context. Use a range of image and videos to show pupils how our food is grown, reared and caught. Pupils could grow herbs, tomatoes and cucumbers at school, and use these to make a simple salad.
