Answer 1
There are various strategies which should be considered by the teachers or the
management to create safe and nutritious environment for the children.
The first strategy that should be considered is related to fun activities. It is important for
the teachers to introduce new games which enhance the knowledge of the children. If the
knowledge of the student enhances then it can improve their overall behavior. If behavior of the
children changes that it can impact the environment of school. This strategy is considered as the
useful strategy as it enhances the knowledge of the students and also motivates them to behave in
the right manner. Behavior is necessary in the school as it directly impacts the environment of
the school. If students are behaving in proper manner then it can create positive and good
environment. So, this strategy is necessary for the children to be considered so that in school it
can be simple to create good and positive environment (McGhee & Frank, 2014).
The next strategy that should be considered is related with lunch skill strategy. The
teachers should give training to the children in context to the eating habits. It is necessary for the
children to learn about eating habits so that they can focus on their meal and can also give
knowledge to the teachers. The nutritious environment can only be created when teachers give
knowledge to them. Teachers should give knowledge to the employees so that children can learn
table manner and also the skills which are necessary at the time of having meal. These strategies
can help to create good environment in the school and also enhance the skills to the children to
behave in a proper manner (Hamre, Hatfield, Pianta & Jamil, 2014).
Therefore, it is necessary for the teachers to consider both these strategies so that safe and
nutritious environment for the children can be created. It is important to maintain the
environment as it gives positive impact on the overall development of the children. Through
these strategies the children can acquire new skills and knowledge.

simple for the create wellness. It has been seen the curriculum is considered as a framework that
can help the children to develop in a proper manner. The curriculum should be designed in such
a manner that it develops the skills and knowledge of the individuals. Designing of the
curriculum should be done by dividing the curriculum according to the children. Only studies
cannot create overall children wellness but it is also necessary learn from the environment
around them (Smith, Cowie & Blades, 2015).
The curriculum should be designed by focusing on the core basic subjects and also on the
extra activities. It can create positive behavior among the children and can also motivate them to
learn more through studies. It is important for the teachers to design the curriculum by
emphasizing on the overall development of the skills and also the knowledge. Skills of the
students can be designed by focusing on various activities and knowledge can be enhanced by
learning the chapters mentioned in the syllabus. The major role is of the teachers to enhance the
wellness of the employees. It has been seen that teachers are the one who design the curriculum
of the students. The curriculum which is designed can impact the children to maintain their
wellness. Children need their own personal time and also the time for studies (Edwards et al.,
2016).
So, it is important to focus on proper time management so that it can be simple to create
wellness of the children. Wellness can also motivate them to give best towards the studies and
can create positive environment. Children without tension and burden can maintain their
wellness. So, it is necessary for the teachers to design the curriculum in proper manner so that it
can be simple for the teachers to develop the knowledge and skills of the children. Learning
environment can also be maintained of the children if proper curriculum is designed of the
children.
So, curriculum can help to enhance interest of the children towards studies and also
towards other curriculum activities.
