Introduction to the Learning Quest
Delivery:
This Learning Quest, if completed in
full, will take approximately 3 weeks. If
the competition is included it will take
four weeks. However this Learning Quest
is flexible and can be broken down into
the different sections. As an example, you
may want to use the section called Let's
Celebrate and nothing else. That is fine.
However, if you do this then the assessment
rubric will need to be altered.
You may need to start this Learning Quest
with a discussion on the importance of breakfast.
Talk about such things as why being active
and eating healthy foods everyday is important
for good health and fitness.
Ask questions like:
 |
 |
What did you
have for breakfast this morning? |
| |
|
What is your favourite
breakfast menu? |
| |
|
Is your breakfast different
on the weekends to during
the week? Why? |
| |
|
How do you feel if you
miss breakfast? |

The Everyday Habits - Breakfast and Physical
Activity Learning Quest assists' students
to explore the benefits of breakfast and
everyday physical activity, as well as explore
what others eat for breakfast everyday.
This Learning Quest has eight sections
including
About, Let's get started, Daily Diary,
Around the World, Let's Celebrate, What
have I
discovered?, Competition. Each of these
sections are explained further in the 'Learning
Quest Parts' section.
During the Learning Quest students will
work individually, as a class, in small
brainstorming and sharing groups (3 - 4)
and larger groups (5 - 6) depending on the
complexity of the celebration activities.
It is up to the teacher how students work
together and with whom. You may like to
do a mixture of things eg. Let students
choose who they work with, choose a number
at random, table groups etc.
The Learning Quest does have some expectations
that students will be using a computer for
some of the time. If you do not have computers
in the classroom, please make sure that
the computing room is booked for the times
you are doing the Learning Quest. You may
like to bookmark this Learning Quest and
the Kids Health and Fitness website, to
save time on the computer.
The main aims of the Learning Quest are
for students to learn more about:
|
|
The 5 Fun
Ways to Health
and Fitness, in particular
the EVERYDAY
theme |
| |
|
Healthy eating |
| |
|
The importance of eating
breakfast and being active
everyday |
| |
|
Developing and promoting
a healthy lifestyle |
Students will learn about cultural diversity
and celebrations. So it is important that
students spend as much time planning, discussing,
practising, in the classroom, working
on
the computer and also outside.
