Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Have learners listen to the (BIG BOOK) again as you read aloud again and demonstrate how to care for the different parts of the body. E.g. wash your face and hands, brush your teeth, cut your finger nails etc.). Show the pictures in the Big Book and guide the learners to demonstrate the proper way of washing the face, hands and other body parts. Take learners through different activities to demonstrate how to take care of their body. Set different centres in the classroom and have them rotate to care for their body parts. Give opportunity to as many learners.
