Introduction to Decision Making in Health

🎉 Welcome to Today's Lesson!

Hello Year 5! Today we are diving into the exciting world of decision making and exploring how it impacts our health and wellbeing. But first, let's start with a fun activity to get our minds thinking critically about choices!

🚀 The Scenario: A Day in the Life

Imagine you wake up in the morning and you have a few choices to make. Picture this:

• Breakfast Options: You can choose between a sugary cereal or a healthy avocado toast.
• Activity Choices: You can either play video games or go outside for a bike ride.
• Hydration Decisions: Should you grab a fizzy drink or a refreshing glass of water?

🧐 Think-Pair-Share

1. Think: Take a moment to think about which options you would choose for each of these scenarios and why.

2. Pair: Turn to your partner and share your choices. Discuss how you think those choices might affect your health. Will eating sugary cereal make you feel energetic or sleepy later? What about the fizzy drink?

3. Share: Let’s gather some of your ideas! Who would like to share their thoughts with the class?

💭 Exploring our Wonderings

Now that we’ve sparked some great discussions, let's ponder these important questions together:

• What is a decision?
• How does a decision affect our health?
• Who is impacted by our decisions?
• What other wonderings do we have about decisions in health?

📝 Journal Time

To wrap up this introduction, it’s time to grab your journals. Write down:

• A decision you made recently that affected your health positively or negatively.
• Your thoughts on how making the right decision can help you and those around you.

🌟 Let's Get Learning!

Through today's lesson, we'll discover what a decision truly is, understand its impact on our health, and explore how our choices can shape our lives and the lives of others. Let's make some great decisions together! 🌱❤️
