Fats and Sugar, YUK!
INTRODUCTION FOR TEACHERS
Gaining Post Knowlege 15 Mins
Hand out A copy of Worksheet 1, 4 Healthy Areas Band 3 per student that the students completed in the first lesson. Ask them to see if they can add any further information to the sheet and ask them to write in a different coloured pen so it is easy to see any knowledge that has been gained throughout the program.
Discuss their answers as a large group and file sheets in portfolios.
PREPARATION
A pencil per student
A copy of Assessment Sheet Band 3 per student ( students completed this sheet in Band 3 Lesson 1). A pen that is a different colour to the colour they originally wrote their answers on the sheet.
Empty junk food or sometimes food packages for reading the label.
A fist full of yellow playdough per group to show the amount of fat or plasticine
20 x teaspoons per group
A paper plate per item, see through containers per item to show the sugar quantity. (Sugar cubes are ideal as they are equal to a teaspoon but not always available and quite expensive)
Camera – take photos of fat and sugar content of each item and share with the community.
ACTIVITY 1
Have the students write healthy ideas into each category on Assessment Sheet – Band 3AssessmentSheetB3
Physical Health, Dietary Health, Environmental Health and Oral Health
Encourage them to write as many ideas as possible.
Some examples are as follows:
Physical Health
ride a bike, run etc
Dietary Health
eat less junk food, eat 5 serves of vegies a day, drink water, limit sugary drinks
Environmental Health
blow nose when runny, wipe surface before preparing a meal, wash hands before food preparation, wash face regularly.
Oral Health
brush teeth twice a day, don’t rinse mouth with water after brushing, just spit, replace toothbrush every term, limit sugary or acidic drinks
Teacher chooses a health area and asks students to volunteer to read some of their answers to the class. Repeat until all areas have been discussed. The teacher will gain an idea of the depth of student understanding from the number of responses and the accuracy of answers.
Students count how many answers they wrote for each column and write the number at the top of the column. Teacher collects to correct and compare with assessment results at end of unit.
ACTIVITY 2
Healthy Tucker Rap – 40 minutes
Display the Healthy Tucker Rap words on the board.
Listen to the song and ask students to suggest messages the song is trying to send.
List their ideas on the board and link with an arrow or underline the parts of the song related to the message.
Listen again, add any further ideas.
Break the song down into verses and each verse into phrases or lines to help them learn the song.
Teacher chants the first verse, a phrase at a time, and the children echo back. Repeat procedure for the chorus. Repeat the procedure linking verse one and chorus.
Play the music again and children attempt to sing along with the first verse and the chorus.
Repeat the process for verses 2 and then 3.
Break students into 4 groups and allocate each group a verse or the chorus. Ask them to put dance moves to the song. Allow time for them to discuss, agree and practice moves.
Each group takes it in turns to share their dance moves with the class. Play the appropriate section of the song whilst they dance.
Extension 1: Link each group’s moves together to create a new dance to the Healthy Tucker Rap. Practice and perform to another class or at assembly. (This will take extra time.)
Extension 2: Students rephrase the song.

Drink milk and water every day
Sugary drinks NO stay away
Yoghurt and cheese are dairy based
Eat them early, won’t go to waste

A chance to look smooth, go ‘n’ grab it
Groove and do the Healthy Tucker Rap
Jiggle your hips, give a High 5 slap

Juice them up and drink them dude
Fill your wrap with vegies that rock
Muscles will build and chicks will flock

Junky is chunky so steer well clear
You could have a good bod every year
