PSHE: 3a
Science: Sc2: 2b, 2h

Hold a brainstorming session in which children answer the questions;

  • What does being healthy mean to you?
  • What does a healthy person look like and feel like?

Ask the children to contribute ideas about staying healthy;

Ask the children to explain how they think the factors in their list actually affect the body. For example, "eating bread is good for you because it's got lots of energy which makes you strong," and "when we sleep we use less energy so our body can concentrate on growing and mending."

Ask the children to draw or write a short piece of work describing what it’s like to feel healthy and unhealthy.
