PSHE- Week 1- Staying Healthy

PSHE- Staying Healthy

What does your body need to stay healthy? Watch the video and find out.

What could we do to be more healthy?

-Start the day with a healthy breakfast. It refuels the body and provides energy for the day.
-Let kids help plan and prepare 1 meal each week.
-Eat together as a family as often as possible.
-Take time eating, and chew slowly. It takes 20 minutes for the brain to tell the body that you are full.
-Eat more vegetables and fresh fruits. Aim for a total of 2 cups of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables each day.
-Eat more whole grains. Examples include oats, brown rice, rye, and whole-wheat pasta. Try to eat at least 3 ounces of whole grains each day.
-Drink plenty of fluids. Choose water, low-fat or nonfat milk, and low-calorie beverages.
-Serve a variety of foods.
-Serve food in small portions.

Science- week 1

Science- Week 1

Children will explore what different items we use daily are made from. For example:

Knives and forks can be made from metal.
Chairs can be made from wood.
Shoes can be made from leather

Each material can be used to make a range of different things; for example, wood can be used to make tables, chairs, spoons, pencils, shoes, doors, floors and many more things.

An object can be made out of different materials used together; for example, a chair can be made from metal and wood and plastic.

Children will explore the properties of materials. Is the material hard or soft, dull or shiny, smooth or rough, waterproof or non-waterproof?

Some materials maybe more suitable than others for particular uses or for manufacturing specific objects; for example, metal shoes wouldn’t be very comfortable and a cardboard door wouldn’t be very strong!
