A healthy week
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can describe what a healthy week looks like and why it is important.
Key learning points
- Exercise is important for keeping our body and mind healthy.
- Exercising can make us feel positive and give us more energy.
- Eating a healthy diet gives our bodies the nutrients it needs to grow.
- A healthy week should have a balance of activities and regular exercise.
- A healthy week should also include plenty of rest and relaxation.
Keywords
Exercise - moving our bodies to stay strong and healthy
Healthy - when something is healthy, it means good for us, our minds and bodies
Nutrients - substances found in food that help our body to live and grow
Rest - to relax or sleep to allow your body and mind to take a break and have more energy
Common misconception
Children have no control over how healthy their week is.
Children are able to make healthier food choices and can choose to exercise throughout the week. They can also choose to make enough time for rest and relaxation.
Teacher tip
Encourage pupils to think about the healthy choices they already make in their week and where they could make healthy swaps.
