Teachers’ Notes Health For Foundation Level is part of the Australian Health And Physical Education Series which comprises ten books in total. This book has been specifically written for Australian students in their first years of schooling. Linked to the Australian curriculum, each page references the content descriptions being assessed.

Being Healthy, Safe And Active is the first section of this book. In this section, students are given the opportunity to recognise their strengths and understand how they can develop new strengths. Identifying body parts and recognising that their bodies change as they grow, is also a focus. In order to understand how they can stay safe, students are encouraged to identify people who they trust and discuss protective behaviours. The second section, entitled Communicating And Interacting For Health And Wellbeing focuses on inclusive and exclusive behaviour and emphasises how the former is right and fair. Students are given the opportunity to explore appropriate ways to communicate feelings using language and actions.

w ww

m . u

The third section in this book, helps students to recognise dangerous household substances and the inappropriate use of medicines. The importance of reading safety symbols found at home, around water and in road environments is highlighted. Healthy habits, such as hand-washing, face-washing, eating correctly and showing respect are explored in some depth.

Health For Foundation Level is a wonderful resource. There are notes for the teacher at the beginning of each section which include: answers, additional activities, links and suggested ways to introduce new topics. Cleverly illustrated to engage young minds, this book will be a valuable addition to any school’s pool of resources.

Learning New Skills

or eBo st r e p ok u S

Begin by asking the students if anyone has recently learned how to do something new. Prompt them by giving them some examples, (learned to sing a new song, learned to play a new game on the computer/iPad, learned to play a new piece on the piano). Discuss how they mastered this new skill - write some words on the board to help you with this discussion: practise, persistence, never give up, keep trying, do a little bit every day, enjoy it, do it with a friend, take advice from somebody who can already do this activity, take a break from it and come back to it, two steps forwards, one step backwards. Ask them how they felt when they recently learned something new. Brainstorm words on the board: proud, happy, confident, pleased, motivated to learn other skills, etc. Students should now be able to complete the activity sheet independently.

Before completing the activity sheet, brainstorm on the board the different things that people could be good at. Identify people in the public eye who are good at certain sports/activities, etc. as well as getting students to identify people who they know (friends, family, etc.) who are good at certain things (singing, playing an instrument, golf, basketball, drawing, etc.). This will help the children to think about people’s strengths and make it easier to identify their own strengths. Stress that we cannot all be good at the same things. To help the students think of their strengths, they might want to list any extra-curricular activities that they are involved in. As an extension activity, play some simple games to help students to recognise that they may have strengths in certain areas, and to highlight that not everybody has the same strengths. Games could include: snap, a memory game, musical chairs, mental Maths games, running races, hopscotch, duck, duck, goose, marbles, etc. For more ideas, visit: 4www.gameskidsplay.net/

Using Our Strengths To Help Others

To create a ‘Talent Tree’ you will need to find a dead branch and place it in a colourful pot filled with soil. Once each student has cut out his/her leaf, a loop of string can be threaded through the hole marked on the leaf and tied to a section on the branch. Alternatively, you could cut a trunk and branches out of brown construction paper and stick the leaves to it to create a wall display. Photocopy the leaf outline onto different coloured bits of paper, (e.g. green, orange,

Depending on children's abilities, some students might be able to write and draw, others might only be able to draw. Display students’ final pieces to showcase individual strengths. You could provide more examples of how people's strengths are used to help others on the board.

Some useful books and videos to reinforce what they should do if anybody abuses their bodies are: • My Body Belongs To Me (an animated short video) www.youtube.com/ watch?v=a-5mdt9YN6I • My Body Belongs To Me (a book about body safety) by Jill Starishersky • I Said No! (a kid-to-kid guide to keeping your private parts private) by Kimberly King • The Right Touch (a read aloud story to help prevent child sex abuse) by Sandy Kleven

The aim of this activity is to teach children safe behaviours and prevent them and others from injuries. Discussions will vary, below are some points that might be covered: 1. A hair dryer should not come into contact with water, as it can electrocute the user. This can happen with any piece of electrical equipment. 2. Always walk with scissors closed and hands wrapped around the sharp end of scissors (demonstrate this in class or ask a student to do this). If a student falls when not carrying scissors correctly, or if a student runs into a student not carrying scissors correctly an injury will occur. 3. Ensure that hot items are placed out of reach from children to avoid burns to the body. Loose clothing is particularly susceptible to being caught and trapped in fires. Some items of clothing are more flammable than others. 4. Always place the tops back on items that, if swallowed by younger children, are potentially harmful. 5. You can electrocute yourself by placing a metal utensil inside a toaster while it is switched on. 6. If you leave the iron faced down on

Line the students up from shortest to tallest. Record each student’s height. Ask students to find out their heights at birth. Line the students up again in order of shortest to tallest (longest) at birth. Is there a vast change? Tell the students that we all grow at different rates and that we all stop growing at different ages, so the tallest student in the class this year, may not be the tallest next year. Here are some growth facts to share with the class: • You grow the most from 0-1. • After the age of 2, most children grow 5-6 centimetres a year. • Girls generally stop growing between the ages of 13 to 15. • Boys generally stop growing between the ages of 14-17. • Research shows that we grow the most in spring. • The average height in each country varies. The average height for a male in the US is 175.5 centimetres and the average height for a male in Japan is

Feeling Safe 1

People Who I Trust

This activity should help students understand that everybody feels unsafe safety House at some point in their life, and that we should openly talk about, and identify, what makes us feel unsafe. Sharing with another person what makes us feel unsafe is a protective behaviour that can make us feel safe again. Students are encouraged to identify a safe place. This is another protective behaviour. Brainstorm places that the students class as "safe" on the board (cubby, bedroom, or an imaginary place). Discuss why the students think that these places are safe (no strangers, around people who they trust, familiar, etc.).

It is important that children can identify people who they trust other than their parents. Brainstorm other people on the board who are responsible adults and who can help them if they get into trouble, (teachers, nurses, doctors, lollypop men/ women, firemen/women, etc.). Say why the children trust them. This is a good opportunity to discuss unsafe situations when the children might need to seek help.

It provides safe places for children to go to if they feel threatened. • Safety Houses might be a house, shop or business and are identified by a nationally recognised logo – a yellow smiling house. • Police are advised whenever a Safety House has been used and police checks are conducted on all Safety House applicants. As an extension activity to this exercise, set up role-plays so that the children can practise telling somebody who they trust that they feel unsafe.

“Stranger Danger” is an ongoing issue and it is important that children are aware of the risks of talking to strangers. It is also important that children are equipped with strategies to deal with strangers should one approach them. Brainstorm situations when strangers might see the opportunity to approach children (if they are on their own, if they are in isolated places away from adults, etc.). Discuss how to avoid strangers approaching them (stay in groups, stay near adults, etc.). Discuss how best to deal with strangers (say “No” firmly, do not engage in conversation, seek an adult's help, go to a safe place, etc.). You might be able to arrange for Constable Care to visit the school to talk about “Stranger Danger” 4www.constablecare.org.au

Being A Good Group Member 1 and 2

Before students begin the activity sheet, brainstorm situations when a child could be excluded, and identify how this might make the child feel. This activity is to help children help themselves if they feel left out. It should teach them strategies to become part of a group again, such as: asking people if they can join in, finding another person who is alone, introducing themselves to others, setting up a game that other children can play with them, telling an adult that they feel left out so they can help them to become part of a group.

These activity pages teach children about the skills needed to work effectively in a group and about being sensitive to other group members' feelings.

or eBo st r e p ok u S

Including Everybody 1 and 2 These activity sheets are designed to encourage children to practise inclusive behaviour, and understand that including others is the right and fair thing to do. Set up role-plays so that students can practise ways to ask other students to play with them. As an extension activity brainstorm words on the board which describe how people feel when they are included.

Feelings 1

It is important that students recognise their feelings and understand what triggers them. It is also important that students know how to communicate to others what they are feeling. Children who are able to deal with any negative feelings that they have in an appropriate manner will be happier. Answers: The boy in the first picture is feeling sad because his dog is injured. The boy in the second picture is angry because he has dropped his ice-cream. (This is a good opportunity to discuss how the boy could manage his anger and stop himself from feeling angry for a long time. E.g. taking a deep breath, counting to ten, focusing on something else to take his mind off the ice-cream, thinking of something worse that could have happened, trying to see the funny side, talking about what has happened to somebody else, trying to fix the problem - cleaning up the ice-cream and asking for another one.) The boy is feeling scared because he is afraid of the dog. The little girl is happy because it is her birthday. Students might like to share stories about when they have felt these four emotions, then draw their own examples on the back of the sheet. A useful website which explores dealing with feelings is: 4www. kidshealth.org

Feeling Angry

Possible things that trigger anger at home: being teased or annoyed by a sibling, having to do chores, not winning a game, not being able to find something, getting into trouble, etc. Possible things that trigger anger at school: not being able to understand work, being teased by peers, losing a personal item, not being chosen on a team, being left out on the playground. Anger is a common feeling felt by younger children and it is important that they learn to express and manage their anger in socially acceptable ways. Not getting enough sleep coupled with a poor diet can cause children to be angry at things that other days they would not normally be bothered by. It is important that children are aware of this. Discuss appropriate and inappropriate ways to deal with anger by reading through the list together on the activity sheet. Students may be able to add to the list and share their strategies for reducing their feelings of anger.

Answers: a.) The little girl is feeling scared because she is watching a television program that is scaring her. b.) Her body language tells us she is scared - her knees are drawn in to her body and she is pulling the blanket towards her face. c.) She could switch the television off or change the channel; she could talk about what she has just seen on the T.V. with an adult; she could do another activity to take her mind off the program. a.) The little girl is feeling sad because she feels sorry for the bird which has died. b.)

Eating Healthy Foods

Before beginning the activity, ask students if they have ever had to take any medicines. You could list the names of some medicines on the board. Talk about the dangers of taking medicine when you do not need it and taking too much medicine (it can make you very sick). Ask the children about the alternatives to taking medicine (rest, drinking water, a lemon drink, etc.). Students should order the pictures: 2,4,3,1

Discuss the benefits of healthy eating with students, e.g. typical/standard growth, energy for daily activities, protection from illness, etc. Investigate the contents of students' lunch-boxes, sorting foods into "healthy" and "unhealthy" categories or "sometimes" and "always" foods. Access a copy of the school canteen menu and do the same. If you use a traffic light system at your school canteen (red, amber, green) to group foods, discuss this also. Children should be made aware that dietary guidelines for children suggest plenty of foods from the bread and cereal, and fruit and vegetable groups; moderate amounts of dairy, meat and protein; and minimal amounts of sugars, fats and oils. The Australian guide to Healthy Eating can be found at: http:// www.eatforhealth.gov.au/guidelines/ australian-guide-healthy-eating. This guide is a useful tool to help students process this information. You might also like to emphasise that a regular intake of water, rather than juices is recommended. Children should colour green: the apple, yoghurt, cheese, bowl of fruit, salad sandwich, peas and cereal. Children should colour red: the ice-cream, the cupcake, the lollies, the hot chips and the chocolate bar. As an extension to this activity, students can cut out the coloured foods and sort them into food groups using the headings: breads and cereals; fruits and vegetables; dairy, meat and proteins; sugars, fats and oils. Some useful websites connected to the topic of healthy eating are: 4www.nutritionaustralia.org (provides ideas for increasing nutrition school-wide) 4www.goforyourlife.vic.gov.au (website promoting healthy eating and increased physical activity)

Medicines 2

This activity sheet teaches the students about the importance of taking and storing medicines correctly. The picture clues tell us to: always read all the instructions on medicine bottles before taking medicines; measure the right amount of medicine for your age/weight; if it is advised – take medicine with food. Students should note that the cabinet in this bathroom does not appear to be a good place to store medicines because it is low down and can be easily accessed by young children. However, if the cabinet is fitted with child locks, then it becomes a suitable storage place. Students might also note that a cabinet placed above the vanity might be a better place to store the medicines. As an extension activity, ask the children to share where medicines in their homes are kept.

Hygiene – Looking After Your Teeth This is a good opportunity to talk about general teeth care – how to brush your teeth (using small circles - not too much pressure), what type of toothbrush to use, whether they have lost any teeth, when they can expect to lose teeth, what it feels like, what the difference between baby and adult teeth is, how often they brush their teeth, etc. Students can share stories about dental visits.

Keeping Safe On Our Roads Students should colour all five people pictured. The lady is crossing the road at the pedestrian crossing; the man on his push-bike is wearing his helmet (although may not have stopped for the pedestrian); the motorcyclist is wearing his helmet and has stopped at the pedestrian crossing; the driver has stopped for the pedestrian; the cyclist and vehicles are on the correct side of the road; the workman has coned off the area in which he is working to warn vehicles of the obstruction.

Invite the school nurse in for a visit to discuss personal hygiene with the students. Students should be made aware that most germs are passed through the air in tiny particles and inhaled, or through touching and eating things that have been touched or tasted by someone with an illness. Students should colour green the child washing his/her hands and the girl blowing her nose into the tissue.

If students are ever bullied they may want to think about applying some of the following behaviours: • Say, "No", "Stop" or "Leave me alone" calmly or firmly. • Don't react by crying or screaming. • Looking the bully in the eye when speaking to him/her. • Keeping their distance from the bully when addressing him/her. • Standing confidently before the bully. • Using assertive body language, such as raising their hands.
