Staying Healthy and Helping the Planet
Sleeping Well
Getting enough sleep is really important for your body and mind!
- What It Means: Sleep is when your body gets a chance to rest and recover so you can play and learn better during the day.
- How to Do It: Try to go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning. So, keep your bedroom dark and quiet!
- Why It's Important: Sleep helps you feel fresh, think clearly and even helps you grow! When you're well-rested, it's easier to concentrate in school.
- Helpful Tip: Think of your bed as a charging station! Just like a phone needs to be charged, your body needs sleep to recharge.
Drinking Water
Drinking fresh water is key to staying healthy and feeling good!
- What It Means: Drinking water keeps your body hydrated, which means it has the right amount of water to work properly.
- How to Do It: Aim to drink at least 6-8 cups of water each day. You can carry a water bottle with you to sip throughout the day!
- Why It's Important: Water helps keep your energy levels up and helps your body function well, like keeping your skin healthy and helping digestion.
- Helpful Tip: Remember, if you're feeling thirsty, it's your body's way of saying, "I need water!"
Eating Safely
Eating healthy foods gives your body the fuel it needs to have energy and grow!
- What It Means: Eating safely means choosing good food like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins that help you stay strong and healthy.
- How to Do It: Wash your hands before eating, and make sure to eat a variety of foods and try to avoid too much junk food. Always check with a grown-up before trying new foods!
- Why It's Important: Safe eating helps prevent illness and ensures your body gets the right nutrients for energy and health.
- Helpful Tip: You can use the rainbow rule - try to have lots of different coloured fruits and veggies on your plate!
Helping the Planet by Recycling Waste
Recycling is important for keeping our Earth clean and healthy!
- What It Means: Recycling means turning old items like paper, plastic bottles, and cans into new products instead of throwing them away.
- How to Do It: Look for recycling bins at home and school. Make it a habit to sort your waste - put plastic, paper, and metal in the right bins!
- Why It's Important: Recycling helps reduce the amount of rubbish we produce and saves resources, which is better for our planet!
- Helpful Tip: Remember the "reduce, reuse, recycle" motto to help keep our Earth clean!
