Health - GR 6

What Did You Eat Today?

In this Health unit, children will have the opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of factors that contribute to healthy development to help them to take appropriate actions relating to their personal health and well-being. Students will need a parent or other helper to guide them through these activities and help them discuss the reflection questions.

Students will explain how healthy eating and active living work together to improve a person’s general health and well-being and they will describe how the benefits of both can be promoted to others (e.g., both provide more energy and contribute to improved self-concept, greater resistance to disease, and better overall health; both help a person to maintain a weight that is healthy for them).
