Inquiry

Our focus for inquiry this term was 'How can I be healthy?' We introduced the topic and enjoyed finding out what our children already knew about health. We broke the topic down into three main sections; eating healthy, exercise and well being.

Children looked at their own lunchboxes and compared them to a healthy eating plate. We also made our own healthy plates. We participated in a range of 'bootcamp' style workouts aimed at increasing fitness and overall health. We also engaged in weekly mindfulness/meditation and yoga sessions, and discussed the importance of both a healthy mind and body.

The children were given the opportunity to present their learning in a variety of ways, such as 'Healthy Trading Cards', board games, videos, newsletter articles and exercise routines.

We celebrated our learning with a morning of rotations, where each class participated in a basketball clinic, learnt a dance routine, did art therapy and yoga.
