Lower Primary Lesson Ideas & Students Activity Sheets
Following are some lesson and activity ideas designed to assist your students to discover how eating a nutritious diet which has all the essential nutrients, in the right amounts, can give them enough fuel to be active and healthy. This can be achieved with regular exercise and a nutritious, balanced diet, which includes three serves of dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt) every day.
These lesson and activity ideas have been divided into the Learning Areas, allowing maximum flexibility for incorporating them into your mainstream curriculum activities. All lesson ideas and activity sheets have been carefully designed so that they can be adapted for different levels and abilities.
Some activity ideas encourage students to involve family members at home, and some link directly to the downloadable and printable student activity sheets. The student activity sheets and lesson ideas are designed to be used in conjunction with the 'Discover Dairy - 3 serves every day!' website, to complement students' learning, and interaction with the website.
