We have been talking in Living and Learning lessons about how physical activity can help our physical health as well as our mental health. Firstly, we defined physical wellbeing/health as ‘looking after and feeling good in your body’ and mental wellbeing/health as ‘looking after and feeling good in your mind’.
We then discussed how partaking in physical activity releases chemicals into our brains to make us feel good. We also learnt that when we exercise we have more energy which then means we can concentrate more.
Help at home: Try out a new sport or type of physical activity over the half term.
