@Miss_Thompson22 I did not know community gardens were a thing. Such a cool concept, I don’t know if there are any community gardens in Tamworth but I know a lot of schools have a school garden in the area!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@Miss_Thompson22 @WeAreTeachers Wow these are such cool resources to use. Love the posters! They would make being safe look fun in the classroom. The stickers could be used for a sticker chart on being hygienic!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@Miss_Thompson22 I agree with year 3 as well. It might sounds young to some but in reality we don’t know what these children could be exposed to either at home or in public. 😬

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@Miss_Thompson22 @YouTube Yes absolutely! I always have fruit for crunch and sip, I try to have a healthy wrap or sandwich loaded with yummy vegetables and meat and for a snack I often have some greek yoghurt with berries!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

Wellbeing: Healthy Habits for Children. This would be a great introductory video to get students thinking about what effects our well-being. Healthy eating has a lot to do with how we feel both physically and mentally. #UoNTeach https://t.co/QNAa8aTmi3 via @YouTube

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@Miss_Thompson22 Not only does it create partnerships with schools but it also give students that real life connection and they know that their learning is authentic!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

The involvement of the community is such an asset to both the students and their families. The unit that I will be doing will involve multiple community businesses as well as parents #UoNTeach #SDG3 https://t.co/8XbsvIZvb7

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@Miss_Thompson22 @kaneshamurray_ Absolutely love this idea! Why not make some of the posters we hang on our walls benefit our health. Children can be so influenced by advertisements so lets advertise whats good for them!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@Miss_Thompson22 I think community involvement in units of work makes it so much more engaging for young learners. I will be involving community in my classroom by using resources from local businesses and using people in the community to come and watch presentations or speak to learners!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@Miss_Thompson22 Yes I believe that spiritual and emotional dimensions should also be included, they are absolutely factors of being human being and they certainly affect our health!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

What is health? Health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” - WHO, 1948. Should this definition mention the spiritual and emotional dimensions of health also? #UoNTeach #SDG3

@ShaneAnnabel1 How great is De Bono's thinking hats! I even love the idea of using coloured hats or having coloured tokens (for older years) so the students remember to use each style of thinking!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@kaneshamurray_ Yes especially in these unprecedented times! Love the idea of laminating them and putting them up in the bathrooms!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

A very important step to always include in cooking lessons or when handling food. I will also do a lesson on the importance of washing hands and we will create our own poster as a class. #UoNTeach #foodhandling

[Miss Ambrum @AmbrumMiss]

It is so important to stop the spread of contagious illnesses, especially within the classroom! I will be displaying this poster in my classroom, reminding students when it’s important to wash their hands! #SDG3 #uonteach #educ4750

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@kaneshamurray_ Wow thanks for sharing! So scary that 51% of parents expect it will be harder to provide healthy food for their families in years to come 😳

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

Breakfast clubs could be adapted during a stage 3 unit on #healthyeating. The stage 3 students could design new and improved healthy breakfast ideas that the other students could help make at breakfast club each morning! #UoNTeach #SDG3

[NSW Dept of Education @NSWEducation]

A toast to the Breakfast Club! 🍞

Student leaders and staff from @SpeersPointPS prepare and serve breakfast twice a week.

Is your family team toast or team cereal?

#LoveWhereYouLearn

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@MissCary24 Yes! Wouldn't it be great if there were advertisements about fun and delicious crunch and sip ideas for little lunchboxes!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

Such a scary figure and such a hard fix. At school we can’t control students exposure to online advertisements at home but we can teach students what foods we don’t need and what foods fuel us to be healthy and active #healthyeating #UoNTeach

[Children's Food Campaign (no longer posting here) @Childrensfood]

Total online junk food advertising restrictions are key to the Govt's Obesity Strategy. Helping children to be healthier by removing 12.5 BILLION calories each year - equal to 62 MILLION doughnuts! 👏

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@MissCary24 @YouTube Yes I love the links to indigenous culture! Recipe books is such a good idea. Students would love documenting their own creations or family favourites!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

A really interesting program that would be awesome to roll out in rural schools for the whole schooling community. #UoNTeach #healthyeating Bulgarr Ngaru Fruit and Veg Program NSW https://t.co/fHGCmkp9vN via @YouTube

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@MissCary24 Yes and it's such a simple way we can bring awareness to children's own wellbeing!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

What a great idea having a whole week dedicated to #wellbeing and running activities designed to improve student wellbeing! #UoNTeach #beactive

[stmarysedenderry @SMESecondary]

Launching 'Wellbeing Week' this morning with today's thought "We believe in you. You are great."The week provides all in our school community with an opportunity to enjoy learning in different ways. So, 'Be Active' today with yoga, a cook-along & life sketching! #Wellbeing 🎨👩‍🍳

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@MarlboroughPrim Love these hands on ways we can teach students about healthy eating! Thank you for sharing!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

@MissCary24 Yes aren’t they easy to include in every day! I’ll have to have a look into mindfulness colouring sounds so interesting!

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

Kids’ wellbeing is a combination of their physical, mental, emotional and social health. Have a look at these 5 practices that can enhance children’s #wellbeing. #UoNTeach https://t.co/UtDU69K3Wf

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

In order to get students to seperate their thinking into clear functions and roles encourage them to wear one hat a time so they are able to think of all possible outcomes. See this website for more detail on De Bono’s #thinkinghats #UoNTeach https://t.co/GxXxyoX1X7

[Kelly Atkins @MissAtkins00]

Does your school have a bush tucker garden? There are so many different ingredients that can be used in cooking that are often grown in schools! #UoNTeach #SDG3 https://t.co/zv2ni5qsJ5
