Obesity, diabetes, eating disorders, growth, development, active lifestyles, environmental health, and mental health are just some of the areas of concern where teachers are actively seeking accurate, accessible information.
Health and Understanding is a literacy-based series written for students in the last three years of primary school. This series provides teachers and students with the opportunity to explore a range of health topics that are involved in, and required for, a healthy lifestyle.
This series looks out our need for an active lifestyle, how health needs change as people grow, how we can develop and build relationships with others, and the personal health choices students must make for themselves in order to enjoy good health.
Written by experienced children’s authors including Hazel Edwards, Goldie Alexander, Alan Horsfield and Wendy St Germain, Health and Understanding is endorsed by The Centre for Hormone Research, a joint department of the The Royal Children’s Hospital and Murdoch Childrens Research Institute.
Suitable for independent reading, guided reading and library reference.
