As it’s the last week of our Health Fortnight, I thought I would choose something healthy for my Literacy challenge. All the answers to today’s anagrams are names of fruits and vegetables.
If you haven’t tried working out an anagram before – it’s easy! Just unscramble the letters in each question to form the name of a fruit or vegetable. I find the easiest way to do this is to write down all the letters in random order on a piece of paper. You can also cut them up and rearrange them that way, moving them around until you work it out.
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!

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.
