Healthy Bodies - Year 1

In this Year 1 Health and Wellbeing unit, we will learn how to keep our bodies healthy. We will explore hygiene and keeping clean, brushing our teeth, staying safe in the sun, eating well, and the different ways we can stay active. Many of these lessons build on what we learned in EYFS, when we read and talked about stories like The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Sparkle Kitty versus the Sun. In Year 1, the focus is on practical steps we can take to look after our bodies, giving a foundation for deeper learning when we revisit this topic in later years.

Each lesson is fully editable and compliant with DfE and PSHE Association guidelines, ensuring ease of integration into your chosen curriculum. This bundle offers flexibility for educators, providing the option to select individual lessons or mini-units rather than committing to a full scheme.
