Last week I posted a poem on the subject of mental wellbeing. This week’s poem focuses on Personal and Physical Wellbeing. First, read the poem or listen to the audio clip, then answer the questions in my Sway. You may need to do a little research in order to answer some of them.
Being healthy
Mum says I have to brush my teeth
In the morning and at night.
They look and taste much better
But I hate it when she’s right.
Dad says I have to take a bath
And wash my body well.
I do feel nice and clean and fresh
But now he’s right as well!
My brother says I have to wash
My hands to keep them clean.
He’s right, my fingers feel so good
Without dirt in between.
My sister says I have to eat
Some vegetables each day.
She’s right, I have more energy
To run and walk and play.
I feel more healthy and I’ve got
Much better teeth and skin.
Don’t tell them that I think they’re right –
I hate it when they win!
Gillian Craig
Listen to it being read aloud here.
Now answer the questions. As always, don’t forget to write in complete sentences (not one-word answers) and check that you have included capital letters and full stops.
What a great poem Ms Rees
Another thing that keeps us healthy is drinking plenty of water.
I’ve been taking part in a Jazzercise challenge this month and one of the things I have to do is drink 2L of water a day.
I’m not usually very good at drinking water, but I have risen to the challenge, and I do feel the benefits.
Good for you, Mrs Webster. I think we all need to be mindful that we are drinking enough water, especially when the weather is getting warmer and we are exercising, so that we don’t become dehydrated.
