Health eating

Physical Education

• The First-grade child learned about the importance of eating a balanced diet.
• They learned about different food groups and their benefits for the body.
• They learned about the concept of portion control and how to make healthy food choices.
• They learned about the importance of regular physical activity in maintaining good health.

Continued development can be achieved by encouraging the child to actively participate in meal planning and preparation at home. This can involve discussing the different food groups, helping measure portion sizes, and selecting nutritious ingredients for meals. Additionally, incorporating physical activities such as family walks or bike rides can reinforce the importance of regular exercise.
