Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
- Engage pupils in songs on the various parts of the body, e.g. head, shoulders, knees and toes, show me your head, my head, my shoulders my knees, my toes. - Learners brainstorm on how the various parts of the human body support each other to perform various functions, e.g. assuming a dog is barking towards you, how do the eyes, ears, feet help you to recognise danger and escape? - Learners engage in various activities (skipping), playing football and explain how the various parts of the body contribute to undertake the activity successfully. NB: The key lesson for learners is to appreciate the fact that every part of the body is important and must be taken care of.
