Learning through play: World Health Day at Savremena
A series of imaginative events about health and the environment
World Health Day inspired numerous interesting activities at Savremena which delighted the students and underlined the importance of having healthy habits and environmental awareness.
The students analysed healthy ingredients, depicted the world of health using computer programs, learnt about different aspects of healthy living in the modern world and, finally, won prizes, which showed that knowledge was acquired and applied in the best possible way.
The activities were carefully designed in accordance with the children’s age groups. This included digital presentations on healthy habits. The mentors, Danica Nikolić and Ira Tuba, designed a digital, educational book entitled Savremena’s Picture Book of Healthy Habits for junior students. They are the two main characters in the picture book whose task is to present a healthy lifestyle to the kids. The students carefully flipped through the digital book in which the teachers sent important messages through various situations.
Clothes, healthy eating, spending time outdoors and personal hygiene are some of the topics explained with interesting dialogues. In addition, the main characters, Danica and Ira, taught the students how to make a food pyramid; they explained what you can find in cereals, meat, fish, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and what the unhealthy ingredients of sweets and snacks are.
Another interesting activity was a workshop entitled “A Healthy Upbringing Through Play”. The goal of the workshop was for the students to research healthy ingredients. The main task was to create a basket with healthy foodstuffs in Paint 3D. This allowed them to distinguish between healthy items and those that are to be avoided. In addition, the activity enabled them to explore a useful image processing program.
HEALTHY DIPLOMAS AND GREEN APPLE BADGES – REWARDS FOR THE EFFORT INVESTED
Savremena’s students deserved rewards for participating in the workshops and creating colourful and healthy digital works. They received Healthy Diplomas designed to remind them to take care of their health and the environment at all times. In other words, their task is to become promoters of a healthy lifestyle.
