Kindergarten and Pre-primary: Listening to My Body
This unit supports students to recognise themselves as capable, growing learners who are learning to listen to their bodies. Students explore how their bodies send signals such as hunger, thirst, and fullness, and how a variety of nutritious foods and water help them grow, think, and play. They build confidence as they share ideas, ask questions, and make connections between their body signals, healthy choices, and everyday experiences.
Year 1: Feel Good Foods
Students are introduced to the idea of helping our bodies feel their best through everyday choices, focusing on personal habits and the messages they see around them. Across two learning tasks, students explore how their bodies need energy from food, and how media messages help guide people to make health decisions. Through discussion, movement, and creative activities, students develop an understanding of how to care for their bodies and how to communicate simple messages that support wellbeing to others.
Year 2: Just Right: Food and Fractions
This unit introduces students to fractions, measurement, and healthy food choices through hands-on experiences, where they explore how foods like porridge are made from staple ingredients and how they provide energy for the body. Across the lessons, students investigate halves, quarters, and eighths by exploring cut fruit and by measuring and preparing simple recipes.
Year 3: Knowing and Growing our Food
Students explore the fascinating world of plants and food by investigating how plants grow and how the foods we eat are classified. Through hands-on experiments, food investigations, and tasting experiences, students develop a deeper understanding of plant needs, the difference between fruits and vegetables, and the important role legumes play in a nutritious diet. The unit encourages curiosity, observation, and real-world connections to everyday foods.
