Learning objective
- To understand and plan for a healthy lifestyle including physical activity, rest and diet
National curriculum
All schools should make provision for personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), drawing on good practice.
The PSHE Association Programme of Study recommends pupils are taught:
- H1. how to make informed decisions about health
- H2. about the elements of a balanced, healthy lifestyle
- H3. about choices that support a healthy lifestyle, and recognise what might influence these
- H6. about what constitutes a healthy diet; how to plan healthy meals; benefits to health and wellbeing of eating nutritionally rich foods; risks associated with not eating a healthy diet including obesity and tooth decay
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Should sit near the board to use examples shared as a class.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should be encouraged to use a range of different foods and types of exercise in their healthy diaries. Should describe the effects of different food groups on the body. Will this give the children energy throughout the day?
Fill in a few examples for each of the columns (food, exercise, rest) on the board and ask children to fill in their healthy diaries.
