Standard
Focused elaborations
-investigating practices that help promote and maintain health and wellbeing, such as eating a diet reflecting The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating,
meeting recommendations for daily physical activity and creating connections with others to enhance social health
-comparing product labels on food items or nutritional information in recipes and suggesting ways to improve the nutritional value of meals
General capabilities
Students build on their personal and social capability by working collaboratively and communicating effectively in classroom discussions. They develop
an understanding between their relationship of them and food.
Students build on their literacy skills when writing they develop a deeper understanding of sentence structures and how to express their opinion and point
of view. As well as interpret and analyse learning area text etc nutrition labels/
Cross-curricular perspectives
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and Cultures- students can explore and imagine hypothetically think about what a lunch box may have
looked like for an indigenous child prior to European settlement. They can develop an understanding of how different individuals require different
nutritional intake/
Student Diversity
Students from other cultures can explore their traditional meals and the nutritional value of these meals. They can build on the understanding of how these
choices might have originated in the past etc, food which was available, the only thing that grows or was affordable.
Topic Analysis
Students will be exploring information on ways to improve their health and wellbeing which makes it personal and engaging. By making the unit relevant
Engage and using their own chips packets makes it personal and interesting. Students will have a current article on several nutritional topics which they can
explore and highlight things that stand out to them. The teacher will collect a range of rubbish which the students need to sort out what is healthy or
unhealthy based on their nutritional value. Videos and interactive resources will be used to stimulate engagement as well as hands-on activities. To
develop an understanding of the student’s prior knowledge the teacher will present students with a piece of paper with two lunch boxes, students then
need to draw in which lunch box they would place that food in etc apple > healthy lunch box, KitKat >Sometimes food lunch box. This will enable the
teacher to be able to identify students prior understanding of the topic and which direction the teacher needs to take them. Another hands-on task student
will be engaging with that relates to maths is filling Ziplock bags with how much sugar is in different drinks. This will give students a visual
understanding of how much sugar is in different liquids.
Students should be able to understand the reasons that foods have nutritional labels
Students should understand the difference between healthy foods and sometimes foods
Students should be able to understand that the foods they eat impact their performance physically, emotionally, and academically
Students should be able to understand that having a diverse diet that incorporates a range of different foods from all five food groups is
essential for healthy living.
Students should understand that sometimes labels will include nutritional content claims like ‘low fat’, ‘reduced salt’ or ‘high fibre’.
Develop an understanding to what fibre is and why they need it
Implications
for Teaching
This unit is modelled around the I do, we do, you do approach. The teacher will start the unit by identifying students’ prior knowledge and current
Explore understanding of certain food types. The teacher will then explicitly explore a range of concepts through interactive resources online and hands-on
activities where students can learn through doing. There will be a strong student-centred approach where the teacher will need to identify the level at
which each student is at and help them further extend their understanding. Once students have had the opportunity to explore a range of resources and
information then they will work collaboratively in activities learning from each other. Students will engage in discussion by communicating the
information on their packets in their lunch box, they will compare this with each other and record the findings. They will then present these findings in
table groups so that they can further develop their knowledge.
Students will be communicating their findings through classroom discussion and the summative assignments which can be presented as a poster, ad
campaign or PowerPoint. This is when students take control of their learning and express their current or newly formed understanding authentically. The
teacher provides open-ended questions to spark curiously and inquiry.
Explain
Assessment During the duration of the unit, students will be observed and data will be recorded to if they are developing a deeper understanding of healthier options
they can substitute into their everyday lifestyle. This will be done by the teacher setting clear success criteria for each lesson and marking whether each
student achieved that understanding. Students will also be provided with the opportunity to leave exit notes on topics they want further clarification about.
Along with exit notes in a formal and informal classroom, the discussion will help the teacher identify students which need further explicit clarification on
certain concepts. The teacher will record data and observations based on s students’ ability to analyse Nutrition labels of packets of food in their lunchbox,
compare the nutrition labels and recognise strategies for healthy and safe choices.
Students’ summative assessment will be based on their ability to create an authentic poster that promotes healthy choices to do with food nutrition.
Students will need to research evidence of why these options they are displaying is beneficial Students will need to create an engaging slogan as well as
make the poster eye-catching so that it stands out and is effective.
Students have the option to display their understanding through other ways for example students can create an ad that advocates and promotes healthier
eating choices, or they can communicate their understanding through a multimedia PowerPoint if they don’t want to create a poster.
This assessment is then students and peers assessed. Students present their findings and teach/educate other students on these findings.

Evidence of
students Graduate: Demonstrate broad knowledge and understanding of the Impact of culture, cultural identity, and linguistic background on the education of
learning students from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds.
Within a classroom, there are usually a variety of students who come from many different cultures and background. Therefore, a teacher must cater for a
range of diverse abilities and knowledge through actively implanting effective and appropriate culturally responsive pedagogies (CRP) which will help
the students develop a sense of belonging and place. Providing students, the opportunity to learn in an inclusive and supportive environment helps them
thrive educationally and emotionally. Therefore, a range of CRP strategies should be undertaken depending on the situation and students within the
classroom.
For example, a piece of evidence collected was the unit plan work created to implement the Yulunga games in a critical way for students to reflect on
culture and build respectful relationship building and boosted students voice, participation, and leadership. By implementing this resource students were
able to make connections to how indigenous Australians use games as a teaching mechanism to learn how to do daily duties. Principle 2 on the AIATSIS
(2012) document regards self-determination and discusses that all educators must promote the fact that Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’
have the right to self-determination through classroom strategies. Through classroom discussion, explicit teaching and questioning students were able to
understand the impact of culture and cultural identity.
Evidence of (exit notes of students answers to their own cultural identity, data collection of observations and verbal responses, images of students working
collaboratively participating in culturally unique games as well as the lesson plan with the Yulunga games incorporated.

Annual Plan
Context statement The classroom is a composite Year 3 / 4 class. The class has 29 students, 17-year 4s and 12 Year 3s.
There is a diverse range of abilities within the class, with 2 students on Negotiated Education Plans
(NEP) with verified disabilities and assessed at different year levels (Year 3 – Receptions) There are
2 Individuals Learning Plans (ILP) for other students who require modified programs. Many
students benefit from regular extension and stretch. Several students struggle with emotional
regulation and making safe choices therefore it is paramount for the teacher to use posters and
provided multiple opportunities for the students to develop this skill.
