Introduction to Health and Social Care: Greek Lessons

🌟 Welcome to Our Greek Adventure! 🌟

Hello, Year 1 students! Today, we are going to embark on an exciting journey to Greece, a beautiful country known for its rich history, stunning landscapes, and delicious food. But this isn't just a regular trip; we’re going to connect it to our health and social care lessons!

🎨 Let’s Get Creative!

A Healthier Plate

First, let's talk about something very important: food! The Greeks are famous for their healthy eating habits. They love to enjoy fresh vegetables, fruits, and grains.

Activity: The Greek Salad Challenge!

• Let’s create our own Greek salad using paper.
• Draw and colour different ingredients like tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese.
• After we finish, we will share our salads and talk about the health benefits of each ingredient.

Keeping Active in Greece

Next, we’ll learn about how Greek people love to stay active. They have many fun games and sports, just like the Olympics!

Movement Break: Greek Dance Time!

• Let’s learn a simple Greek dance together!
• Music will play, and I'll show you the steps.
• Dancing keeps us healthy and teaches us how to have fun together!

🤝 Caring for Each Other

In our lesson today, we'll also talk about the importance of caring for one another. In Greece, people often gather with family and friends to share food and good times.

Kindness Circle:

• After our dance, let’s sit in a circle and each share one thing we can do to help our friends and family feel better.
• We can draw a picture of our ideas to remember them later.

📚 Wrap-Up & Reflection

Before the lesson ends, we’ll talk about what we learned today:

• What does healthy food look like?
• Why is being active important?
• How can we show kindness to others?

Home Task: Share a Greek Dish!

Ask someone at home to teach you about a Greek dish they know or help you try making one!
