Teachers’ Notes Being healthy is necessary if we are to have quality of life. We can often take our health for granted. Health For Years 1 - 2 has been written to support students to make wise choices to enhance their own health, safety and wellbeing. As students work their way through this book, they will become more aware of their own emotions and of the emotions of others and know how to enhance their health and that of others. These are important life skills. Health and Physical Education is an important learning area which has strong links to Science and takes a strength-based approach to help children become health literate.

Health For Years 1-2 belongs to the Australian Health And Physical Education Series which comprises ten books in total. This book is linked to the Australian curriculum. The content descriptors that each activity addresses are written at the bottom of every page. Health For Years 1-2 focuses on three areas of the curriculum in particular: • being healthy, safe and active; • communicating and interacting for health and wellbeing; and • contributing to a healthy and active community. This book is a flexible resource and you can choose to follow the sections chronologically or use the topic pages in no particular order. Teachers are masters of adaptation. Please feel free to modify the tasks and activities to suit your students - as you know them best in a school environment. Above all, have fun with the topic!

Internet Safety With increasing use of the internet in schools, take a few minutes to teach your class how to stay safe online. Following the five SMART rules is just one approach you could take: SAFE – keep safe by not giving out personal information. MEET – meeting someone you have met online can be dangerous. Talk about this with a parent first. ACCEPT – opening files, accepting messages, pictures or texts from someone who you don’t know can be a problem. They could be viruses or nasty messages. RELY – information on the internet may not be true.

w

TELL – tell a trusted adult if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable online or you see someone being bullied.

ie

Pr

ev

It is important to set up conditions in your classroom to allow students to feel safe and secure. Discuss etiquette for respecting each other and only encourage personal disclosure about ideas or sharing things, if students feel comfortable, and the conditions for good listening are applied.

Classroom activities about social and emotional learning can be tricky. It is important to consider the best way to deliver the lesson and know how to find extra support for your students if required (School Guidance Officer or Principal).

Getting Started Starting a new topic is exciting – harness the curiosity, prior knowledge and enthusiasm of your students with some of the ideas listed below to introduce the topic to your class. Your students' ideas might help to spark a learning journey that you did not expect! Create A Word Wall Brainstorm vocabulary associated with the topic and display these in the classroom. Incorporate these into literacy activities (sand spelling or using letter cards to make the words). KWL Chart Create a class KWL chart to map out your students' prior knowledge, what they want to learn and then later, detail what they have learnt. This is a good chance to come up with questions to explore as a class.

w

Class Collage Images are very powerful learning tools. Spend a session creating a class collage at the start of the unit to examine the students’ prior knowledge of the topic. This also makes a terrific display!

ev

ie

Curiosity Corner Hands-on items are great learning stimuli. Ask students to bring in any items that they associate with the topic and display them on a table. Items might include: food, menus from restaurants or pictures that they have found.

Pr

Library Adventure Make a library booking and give students time to explore the library collection (physical and online) and report back about what resources might be available for this topic. A Find Out More Poster Display a ‘Find Out More’ poster for the topic and write up any curly questions that students come across through the unit. Revisit them together or use them as fast-finisher investigations. Student Photographer Appoint students each week to take photographs of the class in action. Display the photographs in the classroom or use them in the school newsletter. Make A Movie Document the topic of work with your students to create a documentary. Identify students to film as learning activities continue. Start by filming students talking about their initial ideas on the topic, why it is important and what they might want to find out. Make A Healthy Living Bookmark Ask students to draw pictures or use images to show three healthy living activities that they are working towards, (e.g. eating a good breakfast, drinking water, washing hands, etc.).

Poisons: find them in the house and store them away 4https://illinoispoisoncenter.org/ipc_media/ games/OutOfSight/

Children are rapidly developing social and emotional skills during the early years of primary school including a greater understanding about how to complete daily activities for themselves.

A healthy diet consists of a balance of a variety of foods. The Australian Guide To Healthy Eating suggests that the majority of our diet should consist of vegetables, breads and cereals, followed by moderate amounts of fruit, protein and dairy, and minimal amounts of sugar, fats and oils. A regular intake of water is important for hydration.

Solving A Problem

It is great fun to share with your friends. This way, everyone gets to play and enjoy themselves. However, sometimes it is hard to share special things that are precious and that you have been told to look after. If a friend asks you if he/she can share your precious things, it could create a problem. You should tell them kindly that some things that you have, are not for sharing.

Communicate And Interact To Stay Healthy And Well

Section 2 Background notes:

with useful reference materials for teachers

Having a good understanding of feelings helps us to develop empathy for others.

4http://raisingchildren.net.au/school_age/ school_age.html

It is important that we can regulate our feelings and learn how to change unhelpful thoughts to helpful thoughts, that in turn, impact our feelings.

ANSWERS:

Modelling how to encourage others is important. Steer away from meaningless praise and instead, reward behaviour that is outstanding. Use specific language. For example, “You really tried hard to finish that task” is more specific than, “Well done”. This gives students on-the-spot feedback so that they understand what is being praised. Developing critical literacy skills to understand what messages advertisements are presenting is important. Model analysis of advertisements to the students and show them how to ask questions about what is presented to them in the media.

P37 Students should colour the little girl not on the swing and the boy eating his lunch alone. P38 Students should colour: You can do it!; You put in lots of work today, well done; Give it a try!; Congratulations, that was amazing; I think you are a special person.

w

P36 Students should tick: looking them in the eye; listening to their ideas before replying; thinking about what you need to say beforehand; nodding to show that you are listening.

P39 1) upset 2) angry 3) scared 4) excited/happy

Hold a class discussion about how they can include others. Create a poster to display, which includes their ideas about inclusion (refer to it over the year).

Play guess the feeling – ask students to act out feelings and the class must guess what they are. Discuss the body language that they use.

P47 1) Ice-cream 2) No 3) Smart 4) Today 1) Apples 2) Fresh, locally grown, dentist away 3) If you buy and eat these apples, you will have healthy teeth. 4) It is easy to remember.

Look at advertisements that have a healthy message and talk about the elements of the advertisements (slogans, colours used, symbolic objects, etc.).

Create some strong health slogans for the class (make a song or a video).

P48 1) Fruit salad 2) Cool, refreshing, sweet, delicious. 3) You are what you eat. 4) Food affects how we feel on the inside and on the outside. 1) Organic veggies 2) Grown by nature. 3) The veggies are not processed and do not contain any chemicals, etc. 4) Answers will vary.

ev

ie

P44 1) The children are feeling determined; possessive; angry; selfish. 2) The children not playing the game are feeling bored; left out; sad. The child playing the game is selfabsorbed and feeling happy. 3) The boy with the marked pants is feeling embarrassed; shocked; humiliated. The boy next to him is feeling amused. 4) The girl with 10/10 is feeling superior. The boy with 0/10 is feeling inferior; sad; disappointed.
