Description

This unit emphasises the importance for pupils of taking care of their body through exercise, getting enough sleep, maintaining good hygiene and planning a healthy week. Pupils learn practical ways to stay healthy.

At Year 1, pupils are developing independence in caring for their bodies and establishing routines. This unit builds on their early experiences with activity, nutrition, hygiene and rest. It is timely as it teaches pupils the basics of looking after their bodies through exercise, sleep and self-care, fostering lifelong healthy habits. By learning this now, pupils develop foundational understanding of how their choices affect their physical health, supporting them to take responsibility for simple daily health routines such as handwashing, tooth brushing and staying active.
