Year 5 Unit 2 - Health and Wellbeing (Health)

Our progressive curriculum builds sequentially year-on-year, culminating in the Year 5 Physical Health and Emotional Wellbeing unit, which deepens students’ understanding of healthy habits, including diet, exercise, and protecting ourselves from bacteria and viruses. Students will explore key concepts such as creating a healthy meal using the Eatwell Guide, designing a training program, identifying signs and symptoms of illness, and caring for our mental health.

Each lesson is fully editable and compliant with DfE and PSHE Association guidelines, ensuring ease of integration into your chosen curriculum. This bundle offers flexibility for educators, providing the option to select individual lessons or mini-units rather than committing to a full scheme.
