English:
Food: we need food to grow. Food is our fuel and it gives us energy. What would happen if we didn’t have food?
Exercise: Exercise is something we all do all the time without even knowing it. Running in the yard, bending down to pick something up…just being active is exercise. We should exercise for a happy, healthy heart, stronger muscles and to feel good.
Drink: What happens to your body when you run a lot on a warm day? You sweat. This means your body is losing water. This is why we feel thirsty. The drinks that are good for our body are water and milk. Fizzy drinks are full of sugar. Oranges, tomatoes and cucumber are good foods to eat when we feel thirsty as they are full of water. Food that contains a lot of water is healthy and also helps our bodies to work properly.
Keeping clean: After you have gone to the toilet, played in the garden, sneezed or coughed, your hands will have germs on them. You need to wash your hands before you eat.
Gaeilge: News words are in grid below. You can ask your child to find these objects around the house. Please revise these daily. (Watch Video on class dojo)
