Move, notice, rest

Read with an adult. You can say, point, draw or write your answer.

1 · Learn

Moving our bodies helps keep us healthy. We can walk, dance, wheel, stretch or play in ways that suit us. Movement can make breathing faster and the heart beat faster.

After moving, we rest and notice what changes again. We are not racing to see whose body works best. Different bodies move in different ways.

Key words and supplied examples.

2 · Worked example

I notice my breathing before and after a short gentle walk. It is quicker just afterwards. I rest and tell an adult what I noticed.

3 · Your turn

After moving, Ava notices faster breathing. Should she keep going if she feels unwell or stop and tell an adult?

Check your answer

She should stop and tell an adult. We choose safe movement and listen to how our bodies feel.

4 · Apply your learning

With adult permission, choose a comfortable short movement activity or observe an adult doing it. Describe breathing before and afterwards.

Adult guidance and safety

Follow existing care and accessibility guidance. No breath-holding, competitions or fitness diagnosis. Participation is optional; observation is a valid alternative.

My observation notebook

With an adult, look at a safe real example or a checked photograph. Name the example and say which you used. Record what you actually notice. Do not taste plants or materials, approach unknown animals or invent missing observations.

Tell your adult what you notice. They can help you write it. A prediction is what you think might happen; an observation is what you actually see, hear or feel safely.

Keep your notebook: use Download notebook before leaving. Nothing is sent to the website or saved to your account. Reopen the downloaded notebook here to add another day's record. Do not include names, addresses or other private information.
