What are rhythmic activities?
Rhythmic activities are activities that involve dance-like movements. They are
activities that could be accompanied or enhanced with music. Their
movements are regular as in musical beats.

Types of rhythmic activities

Rhythmic activities include the following:
1 Marching
2 Galloping
3 Hopping
1 Marching
Marching refers to the organised, uniform and, steady walking forward,
usually associated with soldiers. It can also be defined as walking forward in
regular steps with others. It usually involves groups of people (e.g. soldiers,
students) and not individuals.

2 Galloping
This is when a person jumps with the two legs off the ground at the same time.
It could also be a jump and a run, in which there is a lead leg and a trail leg
(with the same leg always in front) and the other following.
3 Hopping
This means to jump lightly, either on the same spot or moving forward.

Long jump (Field events)

Long jump is a field event which involves running and then jumping for a
distance from a spot into a flat surface called landing pit. The event requires
speed, spring and a great deal of body control. The jump has the following
five stages (skills):
1 The approach run or run-up
2 The take-off
3 The flight
4 The landing
5 The recovery
1 The approach run or run-up
 The run-up is the running to approach the take-off board. The runway for
the run-up has a minimum of fifteen strides for a beginner and a minimum
length of 40 meters for adults. The run-up is to prepare the jumper to cover
some long distance when he jumps/leaps forward.

2 The take-off
The take-off is the stepping on and off the take-off board to put the jumper in
the air. It is done with one leg (single take-off), and it is an upward and
forward movement. The stronger leg is the take-off leg in order to give the
jumper a good spring. The take-off board is usually made of wood.

3 The flight
The flight is the action of the jumper in the air after take-off.

4 The landing
The landing is the arrival at the landing pit. It involves learning to land
properly inside the pit without committing any landing fault or sustaining an
injury. It is advisable for jumpers to keep the legs wide apart while landing
for effective balance, and to fall forward while landing.

5 The recovery
This is the stage where the jumper regains his position after landing. He
maintains his balance and moves forward. He should not walk backward in
the pit. If he does, his jump shall be regarded as ‘no jump’.

HIGH JUMP
High jump is a field event that involves jumping for height over a raised
object into a specified area (landing foam). It is done with a single take-off
(one leg only).
High jump equipment
The equipment needed for high jump are:
1 The upright/Poles
2 The supports for the crossbar
3 The crossbar
4 The landing foam/pit

Basic skills in high jump

There are five skills, which are the following:
1. The approach run or run-up
2. The take-off
3. The flight (clearance of the crossbar)
4. The landing
5. The recovery

The approach

run
This is the running toward the approach take-off. The run must be long
enough (between 10 and 15 strides). The jumper could approach from a
straight line or from either the left or right angle. The angle of approach is
determined by the style the jumper intends to use.
The approach run is slower than that of long jump because speed is of less
importance.

The take-off
Take-off has one goal: jumping high. This is the point where the jumper leaps
from the ground in preparation for clearing the bar. The take-off foot strikes
the ground with a bend at the knee, and the body leans back and springs
forward for a flight. The jumper takes off on one leg.

The flight (Clearance of the crossbar)

At this stage, the jumper must achieve a high lift before changing into any
clearance technique that could be adopted in clearing the bar. A jumper
should use the style that requires the least effort in attempting to clear the
bar.

The landing
Landing in high jump does not require any special tactics. A jumper can land
on the back, legs or on the side with the shoulder, whichever is comfortable.
Jumpers should not land on their head or neck. Where there is no landing
foam, there must be enough sawdust for the absorption of landing shock.

The recovery
The recovery stage in high jump is a stage of resting after landing.
After landing, the jumper walks out of the landing area. If he stays and the
crossbar falls, it shall be regarded as dislodging the bar. He should also
not walk under the crossbar to the other side.

History of football in Nigeria
Football is one of the oldest sports. Its origin is not very certain. Countries,
such as England, Ireland and Italy have claimed the origin. In 1904, the
Fèdèration Internationale de Football Association or International Football
Association (FIFA) was formed. Football must have been introduced to
Nigeria through our early contacts with the British missionaries and colonial
adventurers in the early twentieth century. In 1945, Nigerian Football
Association (NFA) was established and in 1959, the NFA was affiliated to the
Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the FIFA., the body in charge of
the game globally. Football is the most popular game in Nigeria today.
Various schools and colleges as well as football clubs all over Nigeria play the
game. Nigerian national team (the Super Eagles) got the gold medal in the
African Cup of Nations in 1980, and in 1994, Nigeria’s team finally reached
the World Cup for the first time. Other World Cup appearances are in 1998,
2002 and 2010 in South Africa. In the junior categories, Nigeria’s Golden
Eagles won the maiden edition of FIFA Kodak JVC World Cup in 1985. They
also won it in 1993 and 2007. The Nigerian under-23 squad won the
Olympic gold medal in Atlanta Olympics in 1996. The Nigerian Super Falcons
(female national team) are the champions in Africa. They too have
represented the country on many occasions.

Nature of the game

Football is played by eleven players on each side. The game is started from
the centre circle by a kick-off by a player from either of the two teams. It is
played by both boys and girls, and men and women. The purpose of the game,
which is of 90 minutes duration, is to score goals. Goals can be scored by
playing the ball across the goal line, into the net between the goalposts. A goal
could be scored by any player in the field of play.

Facilities and equipment

1 The field of play
2 The goalposts and nets
3 The ball with a circumference of 67.5 – 70 cm and a weight of 0.40 – 0.43 kg

WEEK 10
Care Of The Body Parts

Care Of The Hair

If your hair is clean, lice will not be able to live on your head. Disease germs
will not be able to survive on your head too. You will not have ringworm. Boys
must wash their hair everyday. You should use soap to wash your hair at least
twice a week. You should comb and brush your hair properly after washing.
Girls who plait their hair must wash their hair every week and plait it again.
You must always use a clean comb or brush when plaiting your hair. Dirty
comb and brush may carry some disease germs. You may apply some hair
cream to your hair to give it a good appearance. Girls should not plait their
hair too tight. If you do, some of your hair will fall out. You will also have
pains and headache. You must not tie other fibre (attachment) to your hair to
make it longer. The fibre may contain disease germs.

Care Of The Skin

You must take your bath twice everyday. You must wash the sweat and dust
from your skin everyday. If you do not, your body will smell of sweat. People
will not like to come near you. Take your bath in the morning before you go to
school. Take your bath again before you go to bed. Because you work and
play during the day, you must wash away the dust on your skin before you go
to bed and sleep. Your clothes will not be dirty then.

You must wear clean clothes after taking your bath. This will help protect
your skin from dirt and dust. You will not suffer from craw-craw. You should
wash your bed clothes often: at least once a week. You should sleep on a clean
bed. Germs that give craw-craw do not live on clean beds.

The room that you sleep in should have fresh air so that your body may not
sweat when you are sleeping .. You should try to keep your skin dry always.

Advantages of a clean skin

You feel proud and happy when your skin is clean. You took attractive when
your skin is clean. People will like and come near you if your skin is clean.
Clean skin helps to protect the body from diseases. If your skin is dirty you
might have craw-craw, scabies and ringworm.

How to keep the skin healthy

Always take a balanced diet. You should
always sleep In a clean and well ventilated room. For you to help your skin
to be clean, you must wear clean clothes.
Care Of The Eye
As the eyes are very important to us, we must take proper care of them. You
must protect them from injury. Now, let us recall what we learnt in Class
Four about the care of our eyes. Can you remember some of them?

You must always clean your eyes with a clean handkerchief.

You must not use dirty hands to clean your eyes.

You must not use a dirty towel or a dirty handkerchief to clean your eyes. If
you do, you might get an eye disease. This may lead to blindness.
You must not use sunshades or unrecommended spectacles. They could spoil
your eyes.
You should not look directly at the bright light from the sun. It is too bright
for your eyes and could damage them.

You should not read in dim or poor light such as moonlight, light from palm
oil lamp or candles. They could spoil your eyes too.

You should not read in the sun. The bright light could damage your eyes.
You must not injure other people's eyes too. If something like dust or an insect
gets into your eye, you must not rub it with your dirty hands. Let someone
remove it for you with a clean handkerchief. You can wash your eyes with
clean water to remove the dirt or insect.

If you have eye trouble you should report to your parents who will take you to
an eye specialist
Care Of The Ear
The middle and the inner ear are very delicate. They can easily be damaged.
Hence, you must not use sharp objects to clean your ears. You should not
clean them too often because the wax in the ear protects it from infections.

If the wax is too much and you want to clean it, you should use soft cotton
buds. You should use the buds gently, so that. you may not damage the
eardrum. We said before that we should not allow people to hit us on our ears.

You must not hit other people on their ears too. If you have earache or if pus
is coming out of your ears, you should report to your parents to take you to a
doctor for treatment. You must not delay to see the doctor. If you do, your
ear problem might become worse and you might become deaf.

Care Of The Nose

We learnt much about the care of the nose in Classes Three and Four. Look at
the nose in this picture.
Let us think of these. Our nose has two holes called nostrils, through which we
breathe. Inside the nostril are hairs which help to prevent dust and germs
from getting into our body. The hairs filter the air we breathe before it goes
into the lungs. This is why we find a lot of dirt when we clean nostrils with a
handkerchief or tissue paper. If dust, containing disease germs, escapes
through the hair into the wind pipe and lungs, you might have a cold or
catarrh. This tickles inside the nose and throat. It makes you sneeze and a
thick white liquid (mucus) flows from the nostril.

When sneezing, you must cover your nostril with a handkerchief or tissue
paper to avoid spreading any disease. The tissue paper used, should be
thrown into the latrine or dustbin. If you use a handkerchief, you should use
hot water to wash it clean.

You must not spit or throw mucus (Phlegm) about the compound. If you do
not have a handkerchief or tissue paper when you cough or sneeze, you could
drop the phlegm on the ground and cover it up with soil to avoid spreading
disease to others.

You must not use your fingers to clean your nostrils. You might damage the
skin in the nostril and introduce germs. You must not allow people to hit your
nose and you must not hit other people's nose. This could cause nose bleeding.
Care Of The Mouth
Anything we eat passes through our mouth. Hence, our mouth must be kept
clean always. If our mouth is clean, we would look attractive and happy.
People will like us. But if our mouth is dirty, people will not like us to talk to
them because our mouth will be smelling.

We must wash our mouth every morning before we take our breakfast and
every evening after dinner. This will make our mouth clean and fresh

Care Of The Teeth

Let us remember what we said before. You must brush your teeth in the
morning before you take your breakfast and in the evening after dinner.

In brushing your teeth, you should brush the lower teeth upwards and the
upper teeth downwards, so that you may not damage the gum. You should
brush the inner side of the teeth the same way.
Whether you use a tooth brush with paste or chewing stick, you should clean
your teeth the same way.This will enable you remove food particles that might
have got stuck in between the teeth.

You must not use your teeth to break hard objects such as kernels, bones
or hard nuts. You must not use them to open bottles. If you do, you may
break your teeth and germs will get in. The teeth will then begin to decay
and give you severe pains.

CONTENT OF THE TOPIC
Meaning of School Health Programme
Like the home, the school compound must be kept clean always. This is
important because, with many pupils around, germs can spread very rapidly
once a pupil is infected. Every pupil must take part in cleaning the school
compound.

You must help to cut the grass low regularly. You must help to pick up pieces
of papers, leaves and sticks from the school compound and put them in the
school incinerator for burning.

You should also help to pick out broken bottles, glasses, plates, pieces of iron
and other dangerous instruments from the rubbish pile and bury them.

School Health Programme Components

You must keep the classroom clean. You must scrub the floor once a week. the
floor must be kept dry. You must dust the furniture, the wall pictures, the
walls and ceiling.

You must not spit about in the classroom or in the compound. If you do, you
may be spreading diseases to others.

You must not buy food from food hawkers. The food might have been
contaminated by flies or by other people whose hands are dirty. If you want to
buy food, you should buy from the person who has been authorised by your
school to sell food to pupils in the compound.
You must always eat with clean hands. After doing some work, you must
always wash your hands before you go into your classroom to continue your
lessons.
