Life Skills - Term 2 - Week 10

Today, we will learn about health and safety. Health means taking care of our bodies, while safety means keeping ourselves and others safe. It is important to make healthy choices, like eating fruits and vegetables, and to behave respectfully towards others. We will discuss different situations where we can practice health and safety.

Let's look at some examples of healthy choices. If I ask you what you should eat for lunch, you might say a sandwich with lettuce and tomato. That is a healthy choice! Now, if I ask you about a snack, what would you choose? A piece of fruit is a great option! Remember, healthy choices help us grow strong and stay fit.

Now, we will practice health and safety through role-playing. I will give you different scenarios, and you will act them out. For example, if someone falls down, what should you do? You can help them up and ask if they are okay. Let’s try another one: if you see someone being mean to another student, what can you do? You can tell them to stop and be a friend. Let's work together to show how we can be safe and healthy!

To finish our lesson, I want you to think about one health or safety goal you can set for yourself. It can be something like drinking more water every day or being kind to a classmate. Write your goal on a piece of paper and draw a picture that represents it. We will share our goals with the class, and remember, setting goals helps us improve!
