# Looking After Myself
In Year 5 we learn how to take care of our bodies and minds.
Healthy Choices
Eating a mix of foods, drinking water and getting enough sleep help our bodies work well. A balanced plate has plenty of fruit and vegetables alongside protein and carbohydrates.
Moving Every Day
Exercise makes our hearts and muscles strong. It can be a walk, a dance, a sport or playing outside. Aim to move enough to feel your heart beat faster each day.
Looking After the Mind
Our minds need care too. Taking breaks, talking about worries and doing things we enjoy all help. Too much screen time can leave us tired and grumpy, so balance is important.
Keeping Clean and Safe
Washing hands, brushing teeth and getting enough fresh air keep us well. Small daily habits build into a healthy life.
