Life Skills - Term 1 - Week 4

Physical education is all about being active and learning how to take care of our bodies. It helps us grow strong and healthy. Today, we will talk about different activities we can do to stay fit, like running, jumping, and playing games. We will also discuss why making healthy choices, like eating fruits and vegetables, is important for our bodies.

Let's practice some basic physical skills together. First, we will do some jumping jacks. Watch me as I show you how to do them. Jump up and spread your arms and legs, then come back to the starting position. Now, let's all try it together! After that, we will practice running in place and balancing on one foot. These activities help us build strength and coordination.

In small groups, discuss what healthy foods you like to eat and why they are good for you. Each group will share their ideas with the class. For example, if someone mentions apples, they can say that apples are crunchy and provide energy. After the discussion, we will create a 'Healthy Choices' poster together, listing all the foods we talked about.

Now it's time for you to think about your own goals! Write down one small goal you want to achieve this week related to physical activity or healthy eating. For example, you might want to drink more water each day or practice jumping rope for five minutes. Share your goal with a partner and discuss how you can help each other achieve it.
