Achievement
Standard
What healthy choices make a healthier person?
Good choices, healthy me!
I’m a ‘balliever’
By the end of Year 2 students describe changes that occur as they grow older.They
recognise diversity and how it contributes to identities.They recognise how emotional
responses impact on others feelings. They examine messages related to health decisions
and describe actions that keep themselves and others healthy, safe and physically active.
They identify areas where they can be active and how their body reacts to different
physical activities.
Students demonstrate positive ways to interact with others. They select and apply
strategies to keep themselves healthy and safe and are able to help with tasks or problems.
They demonstrate fundamental movement skills in different movement situations and test
alternatives to solve movement challenges. They perform movement sequences that
incorporate the elements of movement.

PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY HEALTH
● Display the word ‘healthy’. Pose inquiry question: What does it mean to be healthy?
● Lesson focus: to establish prior knowledge about healthy practices.
● Inform students that everyone needs to provide an answer. Allow time to formulate ideas.
● Collect shared ideas to create a concept map or Word Collage, for example: Inspiration/popplet apps, or Wordle.
● Invite students to consider individually: What are some things we do to keep ourselves healthy?
● Organise students into 5 groups to explore the known possibilities of how about to keep themselves healthy using a ‘hot
potato’ strategy, in the categories of: foods, games/sports, places, practices and people.
● Distribute one worksheet and a pen to each group.
● Allocate 1 student to be the scribe and another the speaker to report back to the whole group.
● Set a time limit of approximately 2 minutes to brainstorm healthy choices in each category.
● Rotate each group through the five categories, reminding students to read through the previous group’s ideas before adding
new and different ideas (not repeating).
● Prompt with questions such as:
What games/sports do you play? What healthy foods does your family eat? How much tv/computer/ipad time do

PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY HEALTH
● Pose question: Why is it important to be healthy? Accept all responses and record ideas in a list (eg. makes us feel good,keeps
our bodies strong, stops us from being sick, live for a long time, care for ourselves as a part of God’s creation etc…)
● Discuss as appropriate and elicit understanding that their bodies are growing and developing. Making healthy choices allows
us to keep our bodies strong, fit and happy.
● Here’s a story about a little monster. Listen carefully as I read and try to visualise, or make a movie inside your mind. I am
going to ask you some questions at the end of the story:
There once lived a happy little monster in monsterville. Each day, he loved to go for a walk to the park where he
would meet up with his friends and play on the monster-playground. Sometimes the monsters would play on the
swings, or ride on the slide. Sometimes, they would play a game, like monster tiggy or stuck-in-the-monster-mud.
Sometimes they would ride their bikes or skateboards or even their scooters. The little monster’s favourite game was
monster soccer, because he loved to run. One day, on his walk to the park, he discovered a new shop had opened in
monsterville. It was a sweet shop, and he decided to buy some sweets for a treat. They were so delicious that he ate
up the whole packet that very day! The next day, instead of going to the park, he stopped into the shop again to try
some different sweets. Once again, he gobbled them all up. Sadly, the little monster forgot about the fun games he
used to play in the park. Instead, each day, he bought more and more sweets to fill him up. Then one day on his way
to the shops, he felt a little uncomfortable. His clothes were not fitting him just right any more and he was a little

puffed just from walking! He decided that something was terribly wrong and sat down to think about it. The day
was warm and he closed his eyes. He did not feel happy or healthy. The little monster remembered all of the fun he
used to have playing with the monster friends, running around in the park. He thought he might go for a little run
again and was so surprised that running was now hard to do. He was really out of breath and realised that he
needed to be more active, exercise and make some better choices about being healthy, so he could play monster
games with his friends again. Day by day, the little monster became active again and changed back to eating healthy
food. He felt healthy and was happy once again and his monster friends were delighted to see him back at the park
too.

QUESTIONS: What caused the little monster to become uncomfortable? Can you explain why his clothes were not fitting him?
Why did he get puffed from walking? What changes did the little monster make to feel healthy again? Do you think the
monster was happier when he became active and made healthy choices? What makes you think so? What might happen it
you eat too many sweets and treat foods and not enough healthy food? Would this make you feel happy or unhappy?
Lead students to the understanding that healthy food choices gives energy and being active keeps us fit.
Remind students that we are created by God and so loved by God. We have a responsibility to care for ourselves and love
ourselves, as a part of God’s precious creation. We can also feel good about ourselves when we are fit and healthy and our
body stays strong with less problems/illnesses.
View: AIS Athlete Video: Are you Active Enough? on website: healthyactivekids.com.au -> Kids Corner -> Kids Vids
Pose inquiry question: What games/sports do you play to stay healthy?
Focus learning: being active involves movement through play, games and sports. We can be active in different places.
Organise students into a circle. Invite students to mime their favourite way to stay active. Select others to guess what
game/sport they are miming.
Write each idea onto a card. Aim for one idea for each student. (eg. running, swimming, dancing, riding bikes/scooters/
skateboards/skates/horses, climbing, sliding, gymnastics, dancing, walking the dog etc…)
Pose inquiry question: Where do we go to be active? What natural places can we go to, to be active in? What built places in
the school can we be active in? What built places in the community can we be active in?
List each place on a separate piece of A4 paper, for example: school, playgrounds, nature tracks, beach, sports centres,
gymnasiums, pools, dance halls, park, rivers etc…and illustrate each poster in small groups. Display
As a whole class, students play a matching game to match the physical activity (written on cards above) with a possible place
to play. These can be glued on, if you wish to. Note: some activities can be in more than one place.
●
Digital Technology idea: Alternately, create posters of places students can be active in using iPads (for example: picCollage
app, adding text and importing images from searches of natural and built places).

PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY
● Pose question: I wonder how the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, who have lived on this country for thousands of
years stayed healthy?
● Explain that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who lived a traditional lifestyle ate only natural foods that
were hunted or gathered from the places in which they lived.
● Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have always had (and still do have) a special spiritual connection with
their country. They respected the land and only collected the foods that they needed for each day. They cared for
Creation by looking after the land, plants and animals in the way their elders taught them to. For example: the
women, when collecting yams, would only take what was needed and would leave some yams to regrow, or, the men
would only hunt for the food that was necessary to feed their tribes. In this way, the spiritual connection with the land
was also honoured by allowing creation to regenerate. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples depended on
the seasonal calendar for their food sources. When there was a lack of food in an area, the tribal groups would move
to another part in their country for survival.
● Share a text with the students which highlights the healthy food choices that Aboriginal and Islander people made, for
example: “What Is Bush Tucker?” by Beth Hall”, OR “Going for Oysters” by Jeannie Adams OR “Going for Kalta” by
Yvonne Edwards.
● As a Shared Writing experience, create a class big book/wall story entitled ‘Good Choices, Healthy Me!’ (or similar - see

I like to be healthy by being active. I can play games and move to be active. This keeps me fit and strong.
I like to be healthy by eating healthy foods. I can make healthy food choices often and leave treat foods as
‘sometimes’ choices. This gives me energy.
I like to be healthy by being hygienic and clean. I can wash my hands to stop bad germs. This protects my body
from illness.
I like to be healthy by making good choices. I can follow the rules and be sensible. This keeps me safe from

circle about a 3 feet apart. They take turns
hitting the ball in the air with their palms,
usually in an underhand motion. The
cooperative game teaches both eye-hand

● Lesson focus: recognising healthy and unhealthy foods.
● Allow students time to ‘think, pair and share’
● Teacher elicit prior knowledge about healthy/unhealthy foods and record using a t-chart entitled: ‘healthy foods’ and
‘unhealthy foods’. Encourage connections between healthy and natural foods.
● Students view the following documentary video on the Australian Healthy Guide Website about “Eat Wise to Energise”:
https://www.healthyactivekids.com.au/kids/kidz-vidz/eat-wise-energise/
● Display the “Australian Guide to Healthy Eating”: http://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/guidelines/australian-guide-healthy-eating
● Explain the purpose of the “Australian Guide to Healthy Eating”, that is, it helps people to make good food choices by showing
the ‘everyday’ foods that are healthy for us; it shows the types of foods that our bodies need the most and the least and the
portions that we need to include.
● Explore the types of foods that are included in the ‘everyday’ foods (including water): Grain (cereal) foods, Vegetables and
legumes, Lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seed and legumes, Milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, and
fruit.
● Draw students’ attention to the two food groups that are at the bottom of the poster.
● Explain that these are ‘only sometimes and in small amounts’ and ‘use small amounts’ foods that our body needs the least.
These foods are less healthy choices and should only be eaten sometimes and NOT everyday.
● introduce the concept of having a ‘balanced diet’. Students view the following documentary video on the Australian Healthy
Guide Website about ‘Fuelling Your Body’: https://www.healthyactivekids.com.au/kids/kidz-vidz/fuelling-your-body
● Ask: Why do you think our bodies need a balance of difference foods? What do you think would happen if we didn’t eat these
foods and only ate the sometimes foods? -> We need to eat healthy foods so our bodies can be well-nourished, be energetic
and grow strong.

kids.com.au/whiteboard/IWBResources/lo/crunch_sip/index.htm CHECK THIS GAME. CUT OUT SORTING ACTIVITY BELOW?
Organise students into small groups and distribute traffic light sorting game. Students work collaboratively to categorise food
picture cards into ‘everyday’, ‘sometimes’ and ‘in small amounts’ groups. Direct students to place ‘everyday’ foods beside the
green light; ‘sometimes’ foods beside the orange light and ‘in small amounts’ foods beside the red light.
Compare placements of foods from traffic light sorting game and discuss the appropriate category where necessary, referring
back to the “Australian Guide to Healthy Eating” http://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/guidelines/australian-guide-healthy-eating
Can you guess how many foods are on the Australian Guide to Healthy eating? There are 53 food items counting each item
separately. I wonder how many of us eat mostly from these five food groups everyday?
Play a game of ‘Simon Says’ and create a tally chart to record how many students eat these ‘everyday’ foods often:
- Simon Says: stand up and pat your head if you often eat healthy cereals and breads.
Now FREEZE while I count you to make our tally chart. Once tally marks are recorded invite students to sit.
- Simon Says: stand up and jump 3 times if you often eat vegetables -> record and sit.
- Simon Says: stand up and shake your hands if you often eat lean meats, eggs or nuts -> record and sit.
- Simon Says: stand up and wiggle your hips if you often eat milk, yoghurt and cheese -> record and sit.
- Simon Says: stand up and turn around if you often eat fruit -> record and sit.

Allow students to interpret the tally chart through questioning: Which food group do most of you eat from often? Which food
group do we need to eat more of? How many students often eat from the … food group? Which food group is eaten by … (a
number) of people?
Teacher use modelled writing to express student’s observations and describe the data in simple sentences, for example:
There are twenty-two people in our class who eat grains and cereals often etc…

Lily Pad Activity
Activity adapted from http://health.act.gov.au/
On a soft-fall or grassed area, mark a start line for
children to stand on. Use chalk,
masking tape or carpet squares to mark four “lily
pads” or “spots” stretching out in a
straight line from the start (the distance between the
lily pads should be suitable for
children to jump from one lily pad to the next).
Place a final marker approximately 5-10 metres from
Extension:
Move lily pads further apart.
Ask children to jump in different
directions (forwards, backwards,
sideways)
Use different colours for the lily pads
and ask children to jump on specific
colours
(e.g. only red lily pads), in set colour
combinations (e.g.
red/blue/blue/red) or ask them
to miss a spot.
Ask children to hop instead of jump
(note: children aged four years and
older
should be able to progress to this
level).
participate in games that include
walking, running and stopping such
as:
– Follow the Leader, Musical Chairs
and chasing games.

the last lily pad. Repeat this action
to create a further four to five lines of lily pads. Use
different colours for each row of lily
pads so children know which row to follow.
Children jump like a frog on each lily pad (or like a
kangaroo) in their row, they then run
out to and around the final marker and back to the
start. Repeat the activity.

Students use ‘inside/outside circles’ strategy to work in pairs and report what they know about making healthy
eating choices throughout the day. Prompt with: What could you eat for a healthy breakfast? Lunch? Dinner?
What about healthy snacks? (Process: inside circle faces a partner in the outside circle to report information. On
a given signal, people on the inside circle move 2 spaces to the right to create a new partner and share again etc…
(refer to “Tactical Teaching: Thinking Mirror to the Mind: Developing Metacognition” by Steps Professional
Development, 2007: page 46))
● TASK 2: Students demonstrate knowledge of healthy food choices by drawing a simple plate of food which they
may eat for a main meal and explain reasons for their food choices. Students may require images of foods (both
healthy and unhealthy) to prompt planning.
● Digital Technology idea: Photograph the illustration of their healthy meal choice illustrations and import into 30
Hands app. Record students explaining what foods were included and why they were chosen.
MOVEMENT AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Warm Up:
Children are running
through the 'jungle' and run
into many animals, etc that
they need to get away
from. The teacher can give
appropriate commands,
and the children carry out a
suitable action:
● jump over logs
● duck under
branches
● high knees through
quicksand
Skill Development: Rolling a ball
(Underarm rolling)
is a manipulative skill that involves applying a pushing
force to an object to propel it along
the ground.
Tips:
Swing the rolling hand back and down reaching behind
the trunk while the chest
and head faces forward.
Step forward with opposite foot to the rolling hand.
Bend the knees to lower the body.

ASSESSMENT TASK 3:
MOVEMENT AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY (50-60 minutes) Week 6
Warm Up:
Skill Development: Have students:
Wind-up is initiated with a downward movement of the throwing hand/arm.
The child then rotates their hips and shoulders to a point where the non-throwing
side faces the target.
The child’s weight is then transferred by stepping onto the foot that is opposite the
throwing hand.
The throwing hand and arm then follow through beyond ball release in a diagonal
movement across the body toward the non-throwing side.
■ explore and practise different ways of throwing a bean bag/ball using right/left hand. Throw:
– into the air at different levels, eg high/low;
– from hand to hand, through legs;
– while stationary, eg sitting/kneeling/standing;
– while moving, eg walking, jogging;
– at a target, eg wall, into a target, eg bucket;
– in different directions;
– to a partner who is near/far;
– into a row of hoops;
– over a rope held up by two other students;
– overarm;
– underarm; and
– chest pass;
Activity: Play
Snowballs:
– Prior to the game ask children to scrunch up paper “snowballs”. Make sure they are well
taped into balls.
Mark a dividing line between two groups of five children using masking tape or a rope.
Have a basket of “snowballs” set up at the side of each area.
When the signal is given to start the game, children throw “snowballs” over the line. After
approximately 30 seconds stop and see who has the least number of “snowballs” on
their side. Swap teams and play again.
Remember to use the cues “throw hard” and “step with the opposite foot”.
To clean up the area encourage the children to throw the “snowballs” into the baskets as
a target.
Cool Down: Play an adapted version of “Simon says ... ” using the common instructions but don’t let
any of the children “get out”. The aim is for the children to copy you. Include stretching
activities such as touch your toes, hop on one foot, roll your shoulders, turn your bodies
etc.
Reflection: (link to Maths)- Who had the least /most number of “snowballs”
(link to English): Who though theirs high/low?
Would you use paper when making Snowballs again. Would you have any other suggestions?
Encourage students to think of recycling materials.

● – thrown over increasing distances;
Activity:
Students play Captain Ball
Equipment: Bands or other markers may be needed to distinguish between teams.
Preparation Draw a line dividing a pitch into two area, within each half draw 3 large circles (bases) arranged in a triangle so that each
'triangles' tip is furthest from the centre of the pitch. The circle furthest from the centre is designated as the goal. (See diagram below)
6 (or more) players on each team. Each team selects one person to be a 'goal catcher' and two others as 'shooters' the remaining
team members become fielders. Fielders may take up any position they like outside of the circles on their half of the pitch. The 'goal
catcher' goes over to the other half of the pitch and stands in the goal circle, the shooters also go over to the other half of the pitch and
stand in the other circles.
Goals are scored if the goal catcher catches a ball thrown by the shooters with both having at least one foot in their circles. Goals
cannot be scored from balls thrown to the goal catcher by the fielders.
paper
tape: masking tape or
sticky tape
rope
Rules:* No running with the ball.
* Goal catchers and shooters must have at least one foot in circle when catching or throwing the ball.
* Fielders may not cross the centre line.
* No pushing or charging.
* Penalties are given as free throws by an opponent base player.
Modifications: Start with catching a balloon if students are anxious/ apprehensive to catch a ball.
Extension: Encourage students to use a bucket or scoop to catch the ball
Reflection:
Were you able to catch the ball? Did you hold the ball closely and tightly to your chest when you caught it? What would
you do differently the next time you play a game where you need to catch the ball. Think of other games you can play and
other equipment you may want to throw and catch at home.
