The importance of wellbeing
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can plan a healthy and balanced week online.
Key learning points
- Wellbeing is supported by five key factors.
- Each week, we need to try to get a balance of all the factors.
- We need to try to create time for the things that support our wellbeing.
- Spending time online can be both good and bad for our wellbeing.
Keywords
Physical health - the health of our bodies
Mental health - the health of our minds and emotions
Socialise - to spend time with friends and family
Common misconception
Eating healthily and exercising are the only important aspects of wellbeing.
Doing activities that we enjoy and balancing other aspects, such as sleep, socialising, learning and relaxing are equally important for our wellbeing.
Teacher tip
You could give examples from your own week, where you've made healthy choices that allow you to have a balanced lifestyle.
