What’s happening here – was our Year 4/5 class really fast asleep in the middle of class!
Well, every term we have a ‘Keeping Healthy’ theme week. This term the focus was on the importance of sleep and why we need sleep to keep us healthy, happy, and doing our best! Throughout the week all the classes explored the theme through a range of activities. Some classes kept sleep diaries to monitor just how many hours of sleep they actually get, some designed their ‘dream’ bed and others worked together with other classes to create posters to pass on facts and information.
The children in the photo above aren’t really asleep. One of the activities was to take photos of yourself sleeping in unusual places and this is one of the many poses that the children came up with!
If you would like to know more information about the importance of sleep and just how many hours are advised for children, we recommend this great website: Sleep for Kids. It’s jam packed with great ideas and activities too!
