Abstract

This Health Teacher Guide for Grade 5 was developed as a support document for the implementation of Health syllabus for Grades 3, 4 & 5. The document provides guidelines for teachers on how to plan and program teaching and learning activities. It also contains sample guided lessons and assessments tasks with suggested teaching and learning strategies that teachers can use to work towards the achievement of content standards in the syllabus. Health education develops students to positively influence their health behaviors and that of their families as well as the surroundings and learning environments that impact their health. Comprehensive health education that addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects of health that teaches students how to improve and sustain their health; prevent disease; reduce health-related risk behaviors; and develop health knowledge, attitudes, and skills that foster academic achievement.

The teaching of health equips students with the knowledge, skills and values they need to make informed decisions and choices to perform basic first aid procedures, basic nutrition knowledge, keeping personal hygiene, understand and accept the different growth changes (physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and mental) to be healthy, wealthy, wiser and smart individuals. Other stakeholders are encouraged to become important partners in the health of students and their communities

Teachers are encouraged to read this teacher guide carefully to become familiar with the content so that they can be confident to try out new concepts and strategies and to teach the content well. They can also adjust to suit the needs of their students.

I commend and approve this Grade 5 Health Teacher Guide to be used in all primary schools throughout Papua New Guinea.
