Club-wide event VIT and MIN – health week from Ježkov’s point of view (1.JŽ)

A new adventure that we were looking forward to so much has arrived to the Hedgehog classroom. We were visited by new friends – VIT and MIN. This time they were joined by Choco! The week with our new friends started with learning about foods and meals that are important for our bodies and hide a lot of nutrients, but we also got acquainted with snacks that our little tongues can’t get enough of, even if they have a minimum of nutrients in them. We had no problem to divide the foods and snacks correctly! We also thought about our own diet and named (and drew beautifully) the foods that most often form the basis of our diet. As we Hedgehogs are very curious, we couldn’t miss exploring health from a more encompassing point of view. We were interested in what all is hidden under this term. We discovered that being healthy doesn’t just mean eating nutritious food. In addition to a healthy body, we should also maintain a healthy spirit. We have learned to recognize and divide the different emotions that we deal with on a daily basis. There was no lack of illustration of expressions of joy, pleasure, love, but also anger or sadness. Together we agreed that we feel better when we experience more positive emotions, but we also need to allow our more negative emotions to come out sometimes. The important thing is to be able to work with emotions, and we are learning to do that :-). We had an interesting discussion about the right daily regimen, because (as already mentioned) health is not just a question of nutrition. Throughout the week we also explored the healing power of nature and discovered what nature holds for our health. During the whole week we could not miss movement and dance for our health – we played several movement games (spider web, compote, obstacle course, cooperation with the circle), during which our body was properly moved and what – we also learned about cooperation with others. And to make matters worse – we didn’t just move our bodies! We exercised our brains too in a special brain gym. But it doesn’t stop there. We have to remember that the issue of health is not just about one week. That is why we – the Hedgehogs – will try to follow the well-known motto “In a healthy body – a healthy spirit” and adhere to the principles of a healthy lifestyle all the time.
