Lesson video

Hello, my name is Ms. Wroth.

Today, we're going to be looking at the lesson, "My body is important." This fits into the lesson unit, "Physical health: How can I look after my body?" So let's get our eyes ready to look, our ears ready to listen, and our brain's ready to do some thinking.

Today's lesson outcome is I can explain why my body is important and how to look after it.

Let us begin by taking a look at the ground rules together.

And we have some friends to help us.

Laura says we should listen to others.

And that means not interrupting when somebody else is speaking.

Andeep says we should respect privacy.

And that means if somebody decides to share a story or their own experience, that we don't go and repeat it to others outside of this lesson.

Jacob says, "No judgements." And that means if somebody does decide to share their story or own experience, that we don't judge them because of it.

And Izzy says, "Choose your level of participation." And that means you can decide if you simply just want to listen or if you want to share something throughout the lesson.

Here are some of today's key words.

I will read them first to you.

And then you can repeat them after me.

Are you ready? Physical activity, healthy eating, rest.

Well done.

Physical activity means moving our bodies, for example, by playing games, dancing or swimming.

Healthy eating means eating a range of foods in the right amounts to help your body stay strong and feel good.

And rest means to relax or sleep to allow your body and mind to take a break and have more energy.
