It’s been a very busy, hot week! Our days have been filled to the brim with healthy learning activities. Year 4 have really enjoyed our themed week and have lots to share with you.
D-Side
The class learnt about alcohol and the effect it can have on our bodies. The children asked very mature questions and also gave some very detailed answers.
“The special googles made me feel shaky and I couldn’t see clearly.”
“I stumbled into the chair.”
The googles gave the children an opportunity to experience disorientation and the feeling of loss of control caused by the effects of alcohol. We discussed how these impaired our actions and impacted on our movements and reactions.
Tai Chi
A fun activity aimed to develop children’s concentration and coordination. The clam, gentle moves certainly captured everyone’s attention. Tai Chi emphasizes a fun element while developing children’s mind and body.
……….. and relax!
Make your own muesli.
As a more healthy option to sugar loaded cereals, Year 4 have created their very own muesli. The children were given the choice of ingredients and the amounts needed. Our classroom was transformed into a muesli bar with various options around the room. Measuring carefully, the children selected their choices and added them to a bag. Each and everyone’s mixture was different and, hopefully, went down well at home.
“I’m going to have mine with yoghurt and fresh fruit.”
