Advertisements are everywhere. They are used to encourage you to buy<br />

a product so that companies can make money. The people making <strong>and</strong><br />

showing advertisements do not always care about your <strong>health</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>wellbeing</strong>.<br />

It is up to you to decide if the advertisement is spreading a good or a bad<br />

<strong>health</strong> message.<br />

The lesson<br />

Introduction<br />

• Write the following <strong>health</strong> slogans on a<br />

whiteboard: 'Eat greens to fit into your jeans',<br />

'Drop the fries <strong>and</strong> move those thighs', 'Eat<br />

<strong>health</strong>y, live longer' <strong>and</strong> 'Move it or lose it'.<br />

Other suggestions can be added.<br />

• Ask students to explain what <strong>health</strong> slogans are<br />

<strong>and</strong> why they are used.<br />

Development<br />

• Type '<strong>health</strong> slogan' into a search engine <strong>and</strong><br />

identify the slogan <strong>and</strong> the logo aspects.<br />

• Students complete page 55 by drawing their<br />

own logos <strong>for</strong> different <strong>health</strong> slogans <strong>and</strong> then<br />

identifying the well-known slogans that match<br />

the given images.<br />

• Students then identify the <strong>health</strong> message<br />

behind each slogan on page 56.<br />

Differentiation<br />

<strong>Health</strong> messages can be discussed as a class<br />

prior to completing page 56 to help students<br />

underst<strong>and</strong> what a <strong>health</strong> message is.<br />

Conclusion<br />

• Discuss why it is important to know the<br />

message behind each slogan <strong>and</strong> how<br />

this influences our behaviours <strong>and</strong> lifestyle<br />

decisions.<br />

• Discuss the common <strong>health</strong> messages being<br />

portrayed by the slogans on pages 55 <strong>and</strong> 56.<br />

<strong>Communicating</strong> <strong>and</strong> interacting <strong>for</strong> <strong>health</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>wellbeing</strong><br />

The lesson<br />

Introduction<br />

• Students read the in<strong>for</strong>mation on page 59 about<br />

'brain breaks'. Brain breaks are activities used<br />

during class time to increase concentration,<br />

motivation <strong>and</strong> engagement in lessons.<br />

• Discuss the in<strong>for</strong>mation in the text about the<br />

brain's function <strong>and</strong> why brain breaks are<br />

important.<br />

• Ask students to identify whether each brainbreak<br />

example is 'physical activity' related,<br />

'breathing <strong>and</strong> relaxation' related or 'mental<br />

challenge' related.<br />

Differentiation<br />

Encourage students with reading difficulties to<br />

read as a group or with an adult, pausing to ask<br />

comprehension questions regularly.<br />

Development<br />

• Students use the in<strong>for</strong>mation on page 59 to<br />

complete the questions on page 60.<br />

• Ask students to share one brain break activity<br />

they suggested <strong>for</strong> question 6 <strong>and</strong> describe it<br />

to the class. Students participate in the brain<br />

break activities shared.<br />

Conclusion<br />

• Reiterate the importance of giving our brain<br />

a short break during class time <strong>and</strong> the<br />

importance of refocusing on learning after the<br />

break.<br />

NOTE: High-intensity physical activities can<br />

cause excitement in students. Per<strong>for</strong>ming a<br />

relaxation or breathing activity be<strong>for</strong>e returning<br />

to work can assist to refocus the students.<br />

58 Australian Curriculum <strong>Health</strong> (<strong>Year</strong> 2) R.I.C. Publications ® www.ricpublications.com.au


At school, our brain does a lot of work. It has to tell<br />

our eyes to look <strong>and</strong> read, our ears to listen, our<br />

mouth to talk, our nose to smell, our body to move,<br />

<strong>and</strong> our memory to remember in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>and</strong> also to<br />

solve challenging problems.<br />

Some things we can do automatically, like breathing,<br />

looking, smelling, hearing, talking <strong>and</strong> moving. Other<br />

things require our brain to think really hard <strong>and</strong><br />

concentrate <strong>for</strong> a long time, like learning new topics,<br />

solving problems <strong>and</strong> completing work.<br />

<strong>Communicating</strong> <strong>and</strong> interacting <strong>for</strong> <strong>health</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>wellbeing</strong><br />

To keep our brain engaged, motivated <strong>and</strong> activated, it is important to take<br />

little breaks to let it rest, recharge <strong>and</strong> refocus. These breaks are often called<br />

'brain breaks'.<br />

Brain breaks only last a short time (up to three minutes is recommended)<br />

<strong>and</strong> can include physical activities, breathing <strong>and</strong> relaxation activities, mental<br />

challenges or a combination of these. They help push oxygen around the<br />

body to the brain so that it stays alert <strong>and</strong> ready to learn. Brain breaks also<br />

release muscle tension, develop physical activity skills <strong>and</strong> help to calm the<br />

body <strong>and</strong> mind.<br />

<strong>Communicating</strong> <strong>and</strong> interacting <strong>for</strong> <strong>health</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>wellbeing</strong><br />

The lesson<br />

Introduction<br />

• Ask students to define 'safety'. What does it<br />

mean to be safe at school? What does it mean<br />

to be safe at home? Does the word 'safety'<br />

mean the same at school <strong>and</strong> at home?<br />

• Discuss safety as meaning 'to keep yourself<br />

<strong>and</strong> others free from harm' regardless of<br />

location. The safety rules/guidelines which we<br />

follow are different <strong>for</strong> different locations.<br />

Development<br />

• Look at the classroom scene on page 63. Find,<br />

circle <strong>and</strong> discuss unsafe situations in the<br />

scene.<br />

• Discuss classroom rules that keep us physically<br />

safe <strong>and</strong> the importance of these rules.<br />

• Students answer the questions on page 64.<br />

Differentiation<br />

Students can discuss the answers to the<br />

questions on page 64 in groups prior to writing<br />

the answers.<br />

Conclusion<br />

• Students share their answers to the questions<br />

on page 64.<br />

• Reflect on current classroom rules <strong>and</strong> the<br />

consequences <strong>for</strong> not following them. Discuss<br />

if students think these consequences are fair,<br />

considering the safety of themselves <strong>and</strong> others<br />

could be at risk if the rules are not followed.<br />

home, in the community <strong>and</strong> in the world.<br />

It is important to be safe in the classroom so<br />

people don't get hurt.<br />

Everyone should feel safe at all times <strong>and</strong><br />

everyone should follow safety rules at all times.<br />

Assessment<br />

• Can the student describe what it means to be safe<br />

in the classroom?<br />

• Can the student identify unsafe situations in a<br />

classroom scene?<br />

Classroom safety is often about keeping our body safe, but what about<br />

our mind <strong>and</strong> our feelings? It is equally important to keep them safe as<br />

well.<br />

Write examples of how you could demonstrate each rule.<br />
