Welcome to our new inquiry unit. Here you will find a range of resources and activities that will help us to investigate what it means to live a healthy life style. Our essential question for the unit is

Whats in my lunchbox?

Throughout the unit I want you to reflect on this question to understand what foods you are eating and the impact they can have on your body. When you have looked at each part of the website you should be able to suggest more ways to be healthier at school and at home (ACPPS022)

Your task is to read through the information and complete the tasks that appear along the way. The activities are highlighted in blue so keep an eye out for these !

Have Fun,
From Miss Hickson.

Food is very important for our bodies but so is exercise .

Excerise can

1. improve our mood
2.  make us feel happy,
3. decreases our chance of developing diseases
4. strengthen our bones and muscles! This is really helpful for our year 2 students who are still growing and developing!.

The best part about being healthy and active is you don’t need to do much ! You don't have to run around the oval 12 times to feel good! But just excessing for 30 minutes a day we can start to feel these positive affects, if you do a sport thats even better!

We already know that unhealthy foods can be bad for our bodies but did you know that certain foods can be really dangerous for some people with food allergies.

Food allergies affect many people, it is where the food reacts negatively to the bodies immune system. This is the  system in our bodies that fights off disease and helps us to get better when we get sick. A person who eats a food they are allergic to can become really sick and sometimes in serious situations even die.

At school we need to be careful with the food we eat and bring. To help our classmates who may have a food allergy we must never
SHARE OUR FOOD - if your friend has forgotten their food tell the teacher !

Also TELL A TEACHER IF SOMEONE FEELS SICK FROM THEIR FOOD
