Health and Well Being

We have been looking at why we need to be active as part of our Health and Wellbeing this term.

We know that being active helps us to become strong and healthy.

We know that moving counts as exercise and we could name lots of activities we do outside or at the Leisure Centre: for example, swimming, football, and playing in the play-park.

This week we were looking at types of exercise we could do in a small space. We made a list that included star jumps, jogging on the spot, and hopping.

We wanted to find out how many of each exercise we could do in a minute, so we needed to use stopwatches and count.

We also wanted to look at what happened to our bodies after doing a minute of each exercise – we discovered that our faces go red, we can start to ‘pech’,we can become thirsty, hungry and tired!
