Thank you so much to all the learners who sent in your videos last week displaying the amazing learning you have done throughout this term. We really enjoyed watching you all! You can still upload your videos and fill out the Reflection form on WEEK 9 if you would like to.

This week we are doing things a little bit different. As we head into 2 weeks of school holidays we would like to take this opportunity to share some ideas of how you and your family can stay fit and healthy as well as having lots of fun together. We hope you enjoy the different learning tasks we have suggested and look forward to hearing lots of stories after the holiday break.

Family Movement Scavenger Hunt

Create a list of actions/movements for your whole family to do.
For example it might be go to the kitchen and complete 5 squat jumps, then duck walk down the hallway and so on.
Each family member could create a different scavenger hunt with a special surprise at the end!!

Have Fun!

Sack Race

● Find a suitable old pillowcase (ask an adult first).

● Mark a start and finish position using objects around the home eg a skipping rope, jumper, tape or bottle.

● Place your two feet next to each other in the pillowcase (see image).

● Time how long it takes you to jump using two feet and landing on two feet to the finish. See if you can beat your score.

● Do a family race or time trial to see who can go the fastest.

Paper Plane Throw

Give everyone in your family a piece of paper and make your own paper plane. You could search for the best way to fold your plane. Here is an example of one:

Now choose a starting line and throw your plane to see who can make their plane fly the furthest.
Don't forget your overhand throw technique!

Healthy Eating Ideas!

Being aware of what sort of foods we should be eating more/less of is important for keeping our bodies healthy.

This site: https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/guidelines/australian-guide-healthy-eating has some fantastic information about Healthy Food Choices and also has some great recipes you might like to try.

Healthy Eating Lesson

Using the diagram below "The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating", see if you can place each of the following foods in the correct section. For example: Pumpkin would go in the Dark Green section of the diagram.

Foods: Carrot, potato chips, lamb chops, banana, brocolli, milk, bread roll, pineapple, fruit juice, rice, oreo biscuits, fish, chocolate bar, tomatoes, take away hamburger.

Now let's see if you can order the foods from the things you should eat most to the things you should try not to eat as much of. For Example: The Dark green section has a bigger part so those foods should be eaten more the the ones in the purple, light green and blue sections because they are healthier food options.

Eat more of: carrots/brocolli, What comes next????

List all the ingredients you will need and see what you may need to get mum/dad to buy.
Plan a time with your family to make your recipe.
Reflection: What did you like about what you cooked? Was it all healthy ingredients? Would you make it again?
