Watch the video about eating a rainbow of fruits and vegetables

To stay healthy it is important that we eat a wide range of fruit and vegetables! For this activity, you will need to use this template or draw something similar in your workbook.

You will need to draw or glue pictures of fruits and vegetables for each colour of the rainbow! You can cut pictures out of magazines/shopping catalogues and glue them on or draw some pictures instead. Here is an example to help you

Listen to the story about Oliver’s fruit salad

Once you have finished the story, you can talk about your favourite types of fruits and vegetables with someone in your family, or even draw a picture of your own fruit bowl.

Optional

Watch this teacher video and then have a go at creating your very own fruit salad or skewers at home!

We can sort different types of activities into 2 categories - physically active and inactive. Inactive activities are usually quieter and are down sitting still.

It is important that we have a balance of physical activity and other types of activities in our lives to keep our body healthy.

Activity:

Complete this cut and paste worksheet about ‘Active and inactive activities’. You can also draw it yourself in your workbook.

It is important that we include physical activity into our days to ensure we are keeping our bodies healthy. It is also important that we have ‘down time’ or quieter activities!

Activity:

It’s your turn to think about what is your favourite way of doing physical activity to keep your body healthy. It might be running, swimming, riding your bike, dancing or playing a sport! You are also going to think of your favourite way to have downtime, such as reading, watching tv, drawing/colouring, listening to music or yoga.

For this activity you will need to draw a picture of you doing your favourite physical activity and your favourite downtime activity. Then you will need to write a sentence or two explaining why!

You can use the template attached, or create your own!

With someone in your family, talk about why you think it is important to keep clean and brainstorm what kinds of things you do at home and at school to make sure you stay clean. Here are some ideas:

• Taking a shower or bath to wash your body and hair

• Brushing your teeth

• Washing your hands

• Wearing clean clothes

Activity:

There are different ways to take care of our bodies. Whilst it is so important to stay clean, it is just as important to eat healthy food, drink lots of water, get enough sleep and exercise, and to keep ourselves safe so that we don’t get hurt.

Complete the cut and paste activity by cutting out the different pictures and sticking them in a column depending on whether they best show us how to keep our bodies clean, healthy or safe. You can either print off the template and pictures or make your own table and draw your own pictures in the column they belong to.

Play the online Body Parts game: Body Parts Game | Biology Game

Then you can have a got at matching the body parts on the worksheet attached below!

Optional activity: if you have chalk at home you might like to go outside and get a member of your family to trace the outline of your body. Then, you can label your body parts! Alternatively, you can draw a picture of yourself on a piece of paper and do the same activity!

Watch this video on YouTube to learn about the parts which are inside your body!

In that video we learnt that the main parts inside your body are called ‘organs’. These include - the brain, heart, lungs, stomach and skin! Every person has these parts on the inside and they are all important for keeping our body working properly.

Use the template below to cut and paste the human organs in the correct spot inside the body! OR, you can just draw one yourself in your workbook. You might even like to label each part by sticking the names of each organ around the body and drawing an arrow to each organ.
