Year 3 & 4 

In 3/4 Literacy we have been learning about Fact and Opinion. A fact is anything that can be proven true or false. An opinion is something that you feel or believe but cannot prove. We made Fact and Opinion robots based on our topics of interest. Can you spot what is fact and what is opinion?

In Wellbeing, we are learning about the mind-body connection. This is the idea that how you think and feel is directly linked to how your body feels and functions. The reverse is also true—your physical health has a big impact on your thoughts and emotions.

For example, if you feel annoyed, or are upset about something, you may get a headache or stomach ache, your muscles may tighten up, you may feel tired or wired, or generally unwell. We looked at how we might experience stress in our bodies. Alternatively, if you have an illness or injury, you may feel excess stress or concern, or anxiety. Self-care and other stress coping strategies can help with this.

On the other hand, when you're happy or excited, your body may feel energised, more coordinated, or lighter. When your body is feeling good, you're likely to feel less stress. In fact, studies show that people with a more positive outlook tend to enjoy better health, tolerate pain more effectively, and recover faster from injury or illness!
