Introduction

In this section of the Learning Quest you will be investigating what influences your eating, meal patterns and physical activity.

Not everyone follows the same eating, meal and physical activity patterns and there are many factors that affect how, when, what and why people eat and what physical activity they choose.

Think about the people who have strong influences on your eating and physical activity patterns.

Task

What are some factors that influence your eating and physical activity patterns? For example weather, friends and time.

Use Inspiration® to develop a range of influences that impact on you and your families eating and physical patterns. Think about the whole year, not just the moment you are doing this Learning Quest. If you do not have Inspiration software you can use Microsoft Word or even create a poster.

Weather When it is cold I like to have hot milk on my cereal. I like to go to the pool or beach when it is hot.
Peers I ate a yummy yiros at my friend's house. This was something new for me. I practised skipping with my friends ready for Jump Rope for Heart.
