Years 1 and 2

Above satisfactory

Written response: Healthy, safe, active

Summary of task

Students explored and developed classroom expectations and considered how being healthy, safe and active can create a positive classroom environment as well as healthy people. Students used think-pair-share strategy to brainstorm ideas for each aspect (healthy, safe, active).

Students were asked to individually label a pie chart to show ways to be healthy and safe within the classroom and active within and beyond the classroom.

This assessment task relates to the focus area: safety.

Achievement standard

By the end of Year 2, students describe changes that occur as they grow older. They recognise how strengths and achievements contribute to identities. They identify how emotional responses impact on others’ feelings. They examine messages related to health decisions and describe how to keep themselves and others healthy, safe and physically active. They identify areas where they can be active and how the body reacts to different physical activities.

Students demonstrate positive ways to interact with others. They select and apply strategies to keep themselves healthy and safe and are able to ask for help with tasks or problems. They demonstrate fundamental movement skills in a variety of movement sequences and situations and test alternatives to solve movement challenges. They perform movement sequences that incorporate the elements of movement.
