@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.
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
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.

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.
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

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

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

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
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.

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
@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.
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
@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

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
