Unit 2A: Health and growth
Section 4: Exercising

Objectives

Children should learn:

that we need exercise to stay healthy
to make and record observations and to make simple comparisons

Activities		Outcomes
		Children:
In PE, ask children to undertake a variety of activities and identify which part of the body is exercising eg arms, neck, legs, feet. After PE discuss how they feel and whether it is different from before PE. Ask children to produce 'before' and 'after' drawings or descriptions. Talk with children about what is meant by exercise and being healthy. Identify different kinds of exercise children can do outside school.		identify differences eg I was hotter after PE, I felt really tired after I went swimming, I felt thirsty after football recognise that being well and feeling good is what being healthy means and that regular exercise contributes to this

Points to note

SAFETY - Children should undertake usual PE activities, not attempt to 'test' their stamina or strength.
