Year 5’s Health Week
We have had
lots of fun during health week and have completed many health related
activities. It all began with an amazing
assembly from Mr. Haycock, where he introduced all of the countries our classes
would be representing.
Here is just
a glimpse at a few things we have been up to throughout the week:
Healthy Lifestyles and Peer Pressure
In PSHE, we
have learnt about the 5 elements that make a healthy lifestyle: diet, exercise,
hygiene, emotional well-being and home and family. Without all of these 5 elements we wouldn’t
be healthy or happy! We worked in groups
to mind map what we already knew about each area and then produce a poster
using this information.
Also, we
discussed the term ‘Peer Pressure’, the two types of peer pressure and how to
resist pressure to do wrong when we are with our peers.
Research time!
Our World
Cup country was Germany! We were given
lots of time to research interesting facts about Germany to produce an
information booklet. We worked in groups
of 3, using the ipads, ICT room and other information books from the
library. Here are a few of our amazing final
products:
Police, Tesco’s and Paramedic
We had a few
visitors join us in year 5 to talk about stranger danger, healthy eating and
the role of a paramedic. We took part in
a quiz and tried lots of food such as: fruit, cheese and bread. Our paramedic, Tom, showed us a heart monitor
and even used some of us to model how a leg or neck brace works if someone has
injured their leg or neck. Take a look –
Overall, we
have all had a very enjoyable week in year 5 and loved taking part in health
week!
