Life Skills - Term 4 - Week 6

Health and safety are essential for our well-being. In this section, we will discuss what health means and how it relates to our bodies and minds. Safety involves protecting ourselves and others from harm. We will explore different areas where we need to be safe, such as at home, school, and in the community. Understanding these concepts helps us make better choices every day.

Let's consider a few scenarios. Imagine you are at home and see a bottle of cleaning liquid on the table. What should you do? You should not touch it because it can be harmful. Another example is when you are playing outside. If you see a broken swing, what is the safe choice? You should tell an adult instead of using it. These examples show how we can apply health and safety in our daily lives.

In groups, discuss the following questions: What are some healthy foods you can eat? How can you stay safe while playing? Each group will share their ideas with the class. This will help us learn from each other and understand different perspectives on health and safety.

Now, think about what you learned today. Write down one goal related to health and safety that you want to achieve this week. It could be drinking more water, eating more fruits, or reminding a friend to be safe. Share your goal with a partner and discuss how you can support each other in achieving it.
