Physical Education

• The first-grade child has learned about the importance of eating a variety of fruits and vegetables to stay healthy and strong.

• Through this activity, the child has understood the significance of drinking water and staying hydrated throughout the day.
• Additionally, they have learned about the concept of balance and moderation in their food choices.

For continued development, encourage the child to participate in more hands-on cooking and meal planning activities to further understand the nutritional value of different foods.
