@AmbrumMiss What a cool program! Looks appealing and seems like it’d be lots of fun for kids. Our aim is to reach towards 60-120 minutes a week so this would be a useful resource to get there! Thanks

Here is an awesome program ran by Fit4Kids, coming into schools delivering fun & enjoyable lessons that children will leave feeling exhausted! This awesome initiative helps kids reach their at least 60 minutes of exercise a day! #educ4750 #SDG3 #UoNTeach

@AmbrumMiss @madigoddard9 I didn’t know! Perhaps a task where students could compare the two, find the differences and answer questions such as why? What is better? Etc etc. A good opportunity for collaboration & skilled communication!

Did you know there was 2 different healthy eating guides? I had no idea! Thanks for sharing @madigoddard9. Incorporating this into your classroom can be done by students differentiating the foods or puzzling the plate back together. #Educ4750 #UoNTeach #SDG3 #ATSI

The Australian and Aboriginal guide to Healthy Eating. The Australian poster is a visual representation of the recommended consumptions each day of the five food groups. The Aboriginal version includes traditional Indigenous foods eg. Damper. Would you use this in your classroom?

@kurt_eckmann @HDRUNDP A GREAT idea! Incorporating 21st century learning skills such as ICT and perhaps collaboration if you used group work? Could even make this an assessment. This would improve students awareness of the #inequities & get them discussing ways to decrease them! Thanks for the website.
English
You could ask students in Stage3 to research a specific country and its characteristics. The @HDRUNDP has a great website that may be useful. It provides statistics on country indicators such as poverty, health and education #Educ4750 #UoNTeach #equity

#WorldHealthDay2021 focuses on decreasing health inequities & creating a fairer world. Growing children's knowledge on these inequities through research & discussions in the classroom will help create a healthier/supportive world. Perhaps a research task? Is this important? #sdg3

@Paige_Gabriel1 Great idea! Using it in the orientation phase of your first lesson, to get students minds in the right place for the unit! Introducing them to some vocabulary and ideas that will be visited/used throughout their future lessons.
English
@LaurenG68654208 @Paige_Gabriel1 So more theory sides of things (lesson within the classroom), but discussing practical PE and its benefits for our overall health? Thankyou!
English
@MissHardy18 I am on a similar page to @Paige_Gabriel1, my main goal is to teach students about the reasons as to why we should participate in physical activity and how it benefits our health- both mental and physical. #uonteach #benefitsofPA

Thanks for your input guys! I agree with you all, theres lots of ways we could incorporate these skills. Heres a blog on how to teach & arrange your lessons to ensure 21st Century Learning! classcraft.com/blog/how-to-in…

@MissSha55479033 I found an article with some benefits and tips of calm corners at school and home! actionforhealthykids.org/activity/calm-….
English
@MissSha55479033 A calm corner is an awesome idea! I see it a lot in classrooms these days. Thankyou, your toolkit is very helpful I will put it to use!

A very insightful source that provides 10 constructive strategies to build resilience in students and help them get through difficult times. Some really great ideas for promoting mental health in your classroom. Perhaps some little lesson ideas/activities? #uonteach #SDG3

Because resilience can be taught. Here's how. bit.ly/2P3I2zR #Edchat #K12 #Teachertwitter

@KatieUoNteach I totally agree! Physical activity/health links to mental health and vise versa. So makes sense to focus on both and their #interconnections! Thanks for your input.
English
@MissHardy18 I believe in an integrated approach! PDHPE and Mental Health education possess so many important connections. I will be focussing on a 50/50 approach to stimulate both the body and the mind.

@RebeccaMisseld1 They also create a space for collaboration and skilled communication! Creative activities like the gratitude tree give students, particularly visual/hands on learners a space for learning about themselves and their peers.
English
Ideas like these allow us, as teachers, to check in with our student's mental health! I believe the way our students learn is a direct derivative of how they are feeling, so it makes sense to establish how they are feeling emotionally before we teach. #UoNTeach #SDG3

@madigoddard9 check this site for more wellness books! acornbooksblog.wordpress.com/2018/02/06/pic…

An example of a S1 Picture Book called 'Ruby's Worry', teaches children the importance of sharing their troubles rather than bottling them up. It is a basic way to introduce #MentalHealth with a beautiful message.
#SDG3
Do you know of any other books emphasising #Wellness issues?

@Paige_Gabriel1 Such a successful program.. it not only provides the opportunity to eat & spread awareness of fruit/veg consumption, but it gives students a little brain break as well!

@teachwithmaisey What a cool/convenient site! Not only does it incorporate 21st century learning, but also has a focus on mental health and children's ability to communicate effectively and express their emotions! AWESOME.

#Dailycheckins are an awesome way to gage your students wellbeing and encourage #SDG3 in your classroom. Being a twenty-first century educator, I love utilising ICT as a platform for daily check-ins. Check out this NSW Government resource for more app.education.nsw.gov.au/digital-learni…

@MissMillan01 A great article! It is so important to integrate Indigenous aspects into our units. It is not only a cross-curriculum aspect but you also may find that the ATSI population within the school you have chosen is large! Focus on the 8 ways pedagogy & histories/cultures!
English
Reading a journal article about promoting health and wellbeing of Indigenous children. It provides great insight into why focusing on Indigenous mental health is important and will be something I look at further as I start my unit #SDG3 #UoNTeach #EDUC4750 researchgate.net/publication/26…

The best video I have watched so far on #SDG3. Click the link to see statistics, future health directions, how the government & community can protect/promote our health & more. Would you show this clip to your students? Perhaps Stage 3! #educ4750 #UoNTeach youtube.com/watch?v=z_jjX-…

@madigoddard9 This is very engaging! You could even use the poster as an outline for lessons, perhaps for the older years! Discussing and focusing on the 6 points!
