Check it! - Being Healthy - Year 2

The "Check It! - Being Healthy" resource for Year 2 is a vibrant educational tool designed to encourage children to regularly review and reinforce their understanding of health and fitness. It suggests engaging activities such as 'Brain dump!', 'Give me FIVE!', and 'Retrieval Pyramids' to help students articulate what they know about staying active and eating well. These activities are not only fun but also serve to deepen the children's comprehension of why maintaining a healthy body is crucial. The resource prompts learners to reflect on their knowledge by listing exercises, facts about healthy eating, and expanding on ideas related to hygiene and nutrition.

By asking key questions such as "Why is it important to keep our bodies healthy?" the resource emphasizes the significance of good health practices. It encourages students to 'Expand and Elaborate' on fundamental concepts such as the importance of being hygienic and consuming the right foods. These exercises aim to cultivate a deeper understanding of health and well-being among young learners. The "Check It!" activities are thoughtfully crafted by Focus Education to ensure that children can articulate the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and apply this knowledge to their daily habits.
