@ChloeGesler I agree Chloe, if a unit plan was created that focused on physical activity and healthy eating it would make a positive impact on students health.

Childhood obesity is a major public health issue and increases the risk of obesity in adulthood. It is mostly caused by parental lifestyle choices. How as educators can we limit the onset of childhood obesity? #educ4750 #SDG3

@ChloeGesler I suggest opening the canteen in the morning for free toast and fruit would be a great way to provide the opportunity for students to eat before going to class.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

Breakfast is important for young children. The benefits of breakfast include improving, academic performance, mental wellbeing, memory, eating habits, physical health and energy. #educ4750 #SDG3

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@ChloeGesler I agree, with everything going on in todays society it is important for teachers to provide a time for students to relax and think.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

Meditation is a great activity to improve student well-being and provides them with strategies to reduce anxiety. #educ4750 #SDG3

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@ChloeGesler I was lucky enough to see this program ran in schools. It was interesting to see students ways of reduce stress and anxiety.

The 'Grow your Mind' Podcast is a great classroom unit that focuses on students' mental health and provides strategies to overcome overwhelming times. The website offers a 10-minute podcast and a corresponding worksheet.

@ChloeGesler There is a variety of sports coaching, schools can bring in to teach students a range of new skills and sports.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

Getting students outside and teaching fundamental movement skills will encourage them to participate in outdoor recreation outside of school hours. #SDG3 #educ4750

@ChloeGesler I love using BTN in my class activities. The food label video will be a great resource to inform students on how to read what is in their foods.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

Food labels are important to teach in schools as everything students eat will either be beneficial or affect their health. If children understand how to determine what is healthy or not when young, it will allow them to make smart choices. #educ4750 #SDG3

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@ChloeGesler I agree Chloe it would be a great orientation into a healthy eating activity.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

The 'Introduction to Healthy Eating for Children' is a significant resource for teachers to use in the classroom as it shows the student's the importance of eating a variety of nutritional food. #Educ4750 #SDG3

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@ChloeGesler That would be a great way to use it. If you had the facilities it would be great for each students to get a copy of the poster.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

'The Healthy Eating for Children' poster is a great classroom resource. Student's can compare the 5 guidelines and serving sizes to their own experience with food. Proving children with constant knowledge will help develop their futures.

@ChloeGesler It would be a great resource to use with the Lunch box builder. Here is the link if you need it. https://t.co/os5gt1OEzj

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

'The Healthy Eating Plate website identifies the reasoning behind each component of a healthy diet. It is a great resource student's can use to gain an understanding of the benefits of a balanced diet. #Educ4750 #SDG3 #HealthyEating

@ChloeGesler Using local landscapers would be a great way to get help in the making of the garden. The local Bunnings would be a great organisation to approach about receiving seeds to grow.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

A school community garden is a great way to get students enthusiastic about a healthy eating activity. The garden is a hands-on resource that shows them how easy it is to grow healthy foods themselves. #SDG3. #educ4750

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@ChloeGesler I agree simple areas like handball courts and hop-scotch is a great way to keep students active at school.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

It is important to provide outside play areas for students. It is vital that young children participate in at least one hour of physical activity a day as it helps cardiovascular fitness and self wellbeing #SDG3 #educ4750

[NSW Dept of Education @NSWEducation]

From new areas to old favourites, students are enjoying their outdoors time. 🤸

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@ChloeGesler You'll be surprise about what areas and equipment you could use for different activities. Students love the idea of an obstacle course.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

Providing students with multipurpose physical activity areas in schools can allow them to develop their fundamental movement skills and further encourage out of school physical activities. #SDG3 #educ4750

@ChloeGesler I am glad you like it. If you had the chance i would suggest to use a hands on activity as well.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

The Cancer Councils 'create a lunchbox' is a wonderful resource that informs students on appropriate foods to be brought to schools. It allows students to select foods based on the Australian healthy eating guidelines.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@ChloeGesler I agree it is a simple resource to use in classrooms

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

The Australian guide to healthy eating is a great resource to promote in schools. The resource can increase students knowledge of healthy eating and identifying good and bad foods.#SDG3 #UonTeach #educ4750

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@BenJurd I agree the hardest thing to for parents to change their lifestyle choices. My unit plan is to incorporate the community with the healthy eating unit.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@BenJurd A community run swimming group would be a great way to keep students active and trialing new sports.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

The School's swimming and athletic carnivals are a great way to get students active outside. Promoting physical activity in schools is a great example of encouraging students to enrol in physical activities outside of school hours. #educ4750 #SDG3

Colour and school spirit were on display in the pool and in the stands at the 2022 Junior School Swimming Carnival!

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@BenJurd What a great way to introduce breakfast in a school environment. A breakfast club would allow all students the opportunity for breakfast.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@BenJurd The main idea of meditation is to reduce stress and medical effects that comes with it. You can read more on this website https://t.co/E9eL92sICm

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

@BenJurd I agree @BenJurd by incorporating out group work students can build social relationships.

[Jack_inglis @Jackinglis99]

Outdoor lessons are a great way to boost student morale. Creating a safe and enjoyable environment will improve students' physical and mental well-being. #educ4750 #SDG3

Healthy Eating is important for students' mental wellbeing. Healthy eating such as fruit and vegetable consumption reduces the risk of depression. It is important to teach students at a young age the ways to care for themselves. #educ4750 #SDG3
