Unit Title: Let’s CelebrateSub Theme: The World On My Plate

Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities: Managing Information

Curriculum Objective: To develop the young person as an individual

Key Elements: Personal understanding, mutual understanding, personal health, cultural understanding, economic awareness

Attitudes and Dispositions: Personal responsibility, mutual understanding, concern for others, commitment/determination/resourcefulness, openness to new ideas, curiosity, community spirit, tolerance, integrity, respect

Learning Experiences: Investigating and problem-solving, linked to other curriculum areas, relevant and enjoyable, skills-integrated, active and hands-on, offers choice, challenging and engaging, supportive environment, positive reinforcement, ongoing reflection, enquiry-based, openness to new ideas, culturally diverse

The Thematic Units connect the Learning for Life and Work subject strands of Personal Development, Local and Global Citizenship, Home Economics and Employability and demonstrate how they contribute to the understanding of a central theme. They provide a number of learning, teaching and assessment activities (and are accompanied by supporting resources) to help you address, interpret and develop the Northern Ireland Curriculum’s key elements and Statements of Minimum Requirement.

Each Thematic Unit contributes to the statutory requirement for Learning for Life and Work and also links to other Areas of Learning. In addition, there are opportunities to develop learners’ Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities, incorporate Assessment for Learning principles and make connections to the Cross Curricular Skills.

The units are not intended to be prescriptive and are not the only way to approach the Northern Ireland Curriculum. You do not have to follow them rigidly. Instead, we encourage you to choose from the wide range of learning, teaching and assessment activities in the units and adapt and extend them as appropriate for your classes.

For practical cookery or tasting sessions, be aware of learners with allergies, such as nut allergies, or other dietary needs.

How Do Bananas Get To Us? (1 of 3) Resource 17

Banana plants are planted in hot countries. After about 9 months, the bananas will have

grown into bunches and they are cut from the trees by workers. They are taken away to be

sorted, washed, labelled and put into boxes by workers in a factory.

They are then weighed. They are then taken by aeroplane or ship to our country. When they

arrive here, they are taken to large warehouses in a lorry. When they are sorted, the

bananas are then taken on vans or lorries to the shops where we can buy them.
