Life Skills - Term 4 - Week 8

Physical education is all about moving our bodies and staying healthy. Today, we will learn how to play together, make healthy choices, and respect each other while we have fun. We will also talk about why it is important to be active and how it helps our bodies grow strong.

Let's think about what we eat and drink every day. Can anyone tell me what a healthy snack is? (Wait for responses.) Great! Healthy snacks include fruits and vegetables. Now, can someone give me an example of a snack that is not healthy? (Encourage answers.) It's important to choose healthy snacks to help our bodies feel good and have energy for playing!

Now, we will play a game called 'Follow the Leader.' I will lead a series of movements like jumping, hopping, and stretching. Everyone will follow me. After that, we will take turns being the leader. This will help us practice our physical skills and learn to listen to each other. Remember to cheer for your classmates when it's their turn!

After our games, I want each of you to think about one thing you want to improve in your physical skills. It could be jumping higher, running faster, or even trying a new sport. Write your goal on a piece of paper and draw a picture of you achieving it. We will share our goals with the class at the end of the lesson.
