“High 5” is a health and wellbeing programme delivered by the teacher, to the whole class. Lesson plans have been developed and piloted in 6 primary schools and they cover things such as:
- Physical activity
- Choosing a balanced meal
- Interpreting nutrition labels
- Marketing and advertising
- Body Image
- The importance of fruit and vegetables
The programme has been developed jointly by health improvements experts from NHS Highland and Highland Council. There is no requirement to weigh or measure children. In contrast, pupils learn that health gain is achievable and enjoyable, irrespective of body size.
