These fact sheets are designed to compliment the lesson plans and support active learning for children. The teacher can choose those most relevant to their class as there are a variety of different levels of difficulty.
Healthy eating
Nutrition is a key area of learning across all curricula in all four countries. We are endeavouring to support all government initiatives that revolve around obesity and being healthy. These fact sheets give bite-sized facts for a variety of abilities to enable the teacher to choose those most relevant to their class. They also use the Food Standards Agency Eatwell Plate as a tool to teach children about a balanced diet, as most schools are already familiar with these materials.
Healthy exercise
Healthy exercise is a key area of the curricula for all four countries. These fact sheets support the health and well-being curriculum and encourage children to use exercise to become fitter and build stronger bones. They identify the healthy lifestyle that our children need to have to maintain their health and well-being. The fact sheets give bite-sized facts that will support the children as they complete their learning activities. The teacher can choose those best fitted to the learning needs of their class.
Sunshine vitamin
Vitamin D is a key ingredient of a healthy diet. The body needs vitamin D to absorb the calcium that is so vital for our bones and teeth. These fact sheets give bite-sized facts and support the children as they complete their learning activities. The teacher can choose those sheets best fitted to the learning needs of their class.
Quiz
The quiz is designed to be used in two ways. Teachers can use a quiz to assess their children's learning and encourage self-assessment. The quiz can also be used to stimulate children to assess their own knowledge and compete with themselves to improve their score each time.
