About
The Occasional Carnival Learning Quest
assists students to explore a range of
special events like a sports day or swimming
carnival or birthday or festival. They
will learn about occasional activities
and the importance of preparing safely
for these.
It
is important for students to get a balance
between everyday and occasional
foods and physical activities. Students
will learn treats are ok occasionally,
when part of a balanced diet, which is
full of everyday foods. Students also need
to do more energetic activity that makes
them ‘huff and puff’ regularly.
This Learning Quest has stages including
introduction, special event, energy balance,
what happens, carnival recommendations,
what have I discovered and teacher notes.
Each of these stages are explained further
in the ‘Learning Quest Parts’ section
in the teacher notes.
The Learning Quest does have some expectations
that students will be using a computer
for some of the time. If you do not have
computers in the classroom, make sure that
the computing room is booked for the times
you are doing the Learning Quest. You may
like to bookmark this Learning Quest and
the 5 Fun Ways to Health and Fitness website,
to save time on the computer.
The main aims of the Learning Quest are for
students to learn more about:
 |
 |
What are occasional
activities and foods |
| |
|
How are occasional foods
and activities different to everyday
ones |
| |
|
Explore the importance
of safe preparation for an occasional
physical activity |
| |
|
Learning about what
happens to their bodies |
| |
|
To reflect on what student
found and make healthy, realistic and
safe choices |
| |
|
To use a range of Information
Communication Technologies (ICT) skills
to support research, communication and
operational tasks. |
|

Delivery
This Learning Quest, if completed in full,
will take approximately three (3) weeks.
However this Learning Quest is flexible
and can be broken down into the different
stages. For example, you may decide to
just look at the special event, energy
balance and what happens to the body, which
will take about two (2) weeks. However,
if you do this then the assessment rubric
will need to be altered.

Steps within a task |
During the Learning Quest students will work
individually, in pairs, small groups and as
a whole class depending on the complexity of
the activities. It is up to the teacher how
students work together and with whom. However
we have suggested what we think is the most
effective way of working with a task within
the Learning Quest. You may like to do a mixture
of things eg. let students choose who they
work with, choose a number at random, table
groups, sports teams etc.
An Internet
Site Record Sheet has been included
as an option for you to use with students.
This will help record the different sites they
visit and how useful the websites are.

Making
a Start
You may need to start this Learning
Quest with a discussion on such things as:
|
|
What do you think
is meant by occasional activity and occasional
food? |
| |
|
What events and
activities can you think of that are
occasional? |
| |
|
What are some
of the foods and activities you choose
everyday? |
| |
|
What are some
of the differences between occasional
to everyday activities you do and foods
you eat? |
Visit the websites given to gather and build
you and your students’ understanding
about the importance of a food, physical activity
and healthy lifestyles.
Encourage students to share information
and explore ways to be involved.
