Bachelor of Education - Primary

Hi everyone,

i'm a student, 3rd year into my degree of teaching. My assignment requires me to come up with 8 lessons on healthy living and I thought I'd ask here to see if there were any ideas? I have a few ideas but I like doing different things and incorporating different cultures and influences into my lessons. So far i'm loving my degree, there have been a few failed assignments but nothing that's put me off teaching. I love the look on a students face when they accomplish or understanding something that is new to them brings meaning to my life.

What exactly is your question? What does your rubric say you have to cover? I did an assignment last year where I had to create a series of lessons that were about healthy eating and I chose to base it on what different people from around the world ate for breakfast because it would challenge the concept of a healthy breakfast for them as other cultures eat food that Australian children wouldn't think was healthy etc. If you google for 'healthy living lesson activities' you get a heap of hits - have a look at them and then modify them to put your own spin on them. What uni are you studying through? I'm 4th year at UNE - I only have 6 units left to complete my degree

sorry Trillian, i wasnt very clear in my question but you still answered with exactly what I was after, what a fantastic lesson idea and perfect for grade 1 and 2.
I'm studying through OUA. My university is in WA but i live in NSW so it is all done online which has its challenging days let me assure you. Ive got 8 units left so i'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel which is fantastic. Ive got prac this month for three weeks which will be fun, i've done one previous prac which was also three week and i loved that.

That was the stage I used for those lessons too. Good luck with the assignment and the rest of your degree!
