﻿Hello everyone. I'm Mr. Sidat and in this unit I will be teaching you all about eating and living well. In today's lesson, we are going to be talking about my favourite thing, food. We will meet a very special guest who will explain what the term diet means as well as introducing us to something which will help us make better food choices. At the end of the lesson, we will write a letter persuading someone to eat healthier. So to start the lesson off we'll be doing a very very quick warmup, which is going to warm your body and our brains up. We'll then look at the term diet and we'll have somebody very special come in to explain what this term means. We'll then move on to looking at the Eatwell plate followed by choosing our lunch. We'll finish the lesson off by writing a letter persuading them to eat healthier. So, in this lesson you will need paper or an exercise book, a pencil, and some quiet space to get those creative juices flowing. So seeing as this unit is all about being healthy and keeping fit, I want to start off every lesson by warming up our bodies and brains using exercise. Each week we'll be practising moves for a new sport. So are you ready to join in? Brilliant. This week's sport is basketball, which is a hugely popular sport in America. The aim of the game is to throw the ball into the basket on each end of the court. The team with the most points wins the game. Okay, let's get started. Make sure you've got plenty of space around you and let's get ready to score some points. So the first exercise we are going to be doing is jumping on the spot, which will raise our heart rate and also help improve our game in basketball because we'll have to do lots of running up and down the court. This will get our body nice and warm so for the next 10 seconds let's jump on the spot and analyse again because the ball is in the other half of the court, okay. So one, two, keep your eye open, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Now look, there's an opening to steal the ball back for your team, but we really need to sprint so we can intercept the pass. So let's speed up and sprint for 10 seconds with a ball in our hand. One, two, three, four, five, quicker, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Excellent. So the reason we put in a 10 second sprint was because basketball is a very fast paced sport, which requires lots of short little sprints. The jogging and sprinting is an excellent cardiovascular exercise which means we raise our heart rate and really works on this part of our body, which is known as our calves, and this part of our body which is known as our quadriceps. Excellent everyone. Can you say that? Calves and quadriceps. Brilliant. So now that we've got the ball back, what we're going to do is we're going to be running to the goal, okay, which is a basket. So let's run. Pretend we've got the ball in our hand, really bounce that ball. Excellent everyone, let's keep going. Right, now there's a defendant coming your way. He's going to try and steal the ball. But what we're going to do is we're going to. Brilliant, that's great footwork everyone. Bounce it now on our opposite hand. Excellent. And again someone else is coming so we're going to, we're going to, brilliant, that's a great dribble everyone. Well done, let's keep going. And now we've got to the basket. So what I want you to do now is line the ball up with two hands, little bit of bounce, and jump. Oh yes, and that's three points. That is an excellent shot, well done everybody. That was excellent. So jumping is an essential part of basketball because some jumping is involved within the sport, whether it be defending or attacking, intercepting or shooting. So jumping requires strong, powerful legs. So basketball players explode into the air and jump high into the sky. Well done. So, right, can you remember our routine? So it was analyse, which is jogging on the spot, intercepting the ball. So it's a quick sprint. Dribbling with the ball, remember? Okay, excellent. And finally, shooting. Excellent. Simple right? So, let's have a go together. I want you to pause the video now and repeat this three more times. You think you can do that? Brilliant. Okay, you guys did brilliantly. So why are we going to start off our lesson with exercise? Well, when we exercise we release chemicals called endorphins, which make us feel good. Every week we will be learning a new fact about endorphins. So I hope your brains and bodies are all warmed up and you're ready for today's lesson. So today's lesson is all about a balanced diet. A diet, that's a funny word. What is it?

Hi, my name is Adam and I'm a personal trainer which means it is my job to help people on their fitness journey. I heard you wanted to know what a diet is. A diet is the kinds of foods someone eats regularly.

So a diet is basically just eating food. Oh, so for my lunch today I'm going to have three slices of pizza, a handful of chips, four chocolate bars, two packets of sweets, a bottle of fizzy drink, and one single grape. What a brilliant diet.

No. First of all, it's so important we have a balanced diet, which means that we have to have a variety of foods within our diet. Our diet should not consist of eating only fruits and vegetables. So we use the Eatwell plate, which can help us maintain a balanced diet. So as you can see our diet should consist of one third of fruit and veg, one third of foods which are things like bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, and other starchy foods. We should then separate the final third into meat, fish, eggs, and other non-dairy protein foods, dairy foods such as milk and yoghourt. And finally, the smallest portion of our diet should be foods with high, fat and sugar. The problem with your diet is that it comes from only one portion of the Eatwell plate, which you should be eating the least of. You need a variety in your diet. Why don't you come with me and we'll have lunch together, this way we can make sure we have a balanced diet.

So, I need to help some sort of fruit and veg for lunch. I think I'll have some broccoli and carrots.

Now you need to choose some carbohydrates, tough choice.

I think I fancy potatoes. Oh, and some extra chips.

Just remember chips are very fatty foods. So maybe wait until the end and then decide whether you want them or not. Let's decide on your protein next.

Oh, I think I want steak.

A brilliant choice.

Hmm, I think I want some sweets after that.

Why don't you choose a healthy alternative which fits into your dairy food section of the Eatwell plate?

Like what?

How about some yoghourt? It's sweet and tasty and it's a lot better than having a cheesecake.

Well I do like yoghourt. But, can I have a small piece of chocolate?

Well, let's take a look at the Eatwell plate. Have you had any sugary or fatty foods?

No.

So I don't see why you can't have a small piece of chocolate. So as long as you don't eat too much of the chocolate.

Okay, so now it's time for a quick task. Using the menu that you have just seen I want you to choose your own lunch. You think you can do that? Brilliant, but you need to use the Eatwell plate to help you decide exactly what to have. So we're going to take a look at the different facts between healthy foods and junk foods. Pause the video and read through these on your own. So, which one do you think is better? The healthy foods or the junk food? So now it's your turn. Your task today is to write a letter to somebody persuading them to eat healthier. You can write the letter to anybody you like. So it can be a family member, household member, or a friend of yours. But you need to make sure you persuade them to eat healthier and stay away from that junk food. So this is a letter that I have written to Bob, who is my best friend. I'd really like to encourage him to eat healthier. I've included a range of strategies, including rhetorical questions, interesting vocabulary, persuasive language, list of three, alliteration, short sentences, emotive language, and repetition. These are known as RIPLASER. So try and use them in your own work. So this is our success criteria for today. So I want you to think about the language, include a rhetorical question. This is a question that does not need a response. Imaginative vocab. Don't use boring words, make sure they're nice and powerful. Persuasive language. Okay, try and be as persuasive as possible. Remember, we are trying to persuade them to eat healthier. A list of three, alliteration, some short sentences for impact, emotive language. So plead with that person. And finally repetition. If you have to repeat what you have to say a couple of times, that's brilliant. And just remember what the task is for today. Write a letter to someone persuading them to eat healthier. Good luck.
