Learning objective
- To understand the benefits of healthy eating and dental health
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 that 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 work in mixed ability groups so they can support each other and play to their strengths.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should make sure that everyone in the group is involved with the task. Can describe what food groups contain and what effects these have on the body.
