Today we had my favorite lesson of the year with our Grade 4's. Students were offered special treats, healthy and unhealthy, during their recess time without being given a reason. After their recess they came down to PE where we spoke about healthy decisions and what our body requires to function during the day. We discussed calorie intake and the relation of it to various foods. Students then received a worksheet where they had to enter what they consumed earlier together with the correct amount of calories. Together we figured out how many minutes you had to run to burn off these calories.....and that was painful especially as we tried to get close and got everybody to run for as long as possible! The lesson finished with a slide show about interesting facts in relation to calories.
