Be Healthy Week

As part of our aspiration that children will live a healthy life. We have a week (or two) a year where we challenge children and and staff to consider making healthier choices.

This year Be Healthy Week extended over 2 weeks to allow classes flexibility and ensure all key teaching was covered. With whole school and class assemblies we looked at:

Having a Balance - the food groups and the healthy eating plate; Making sure we have enough of all the groups and that we drink enough water. Looking at how we spend our time - getting enough activity, sport, social time and time to enjoy our hobbies.

Sleep - what do good sleep habits look like? why is sleep so important and how much sleep should we get?

Healthy Snacks

Each year, children make a healthy snack and enjoy it in school. This is in addition to the Food and Nutrition unit in Design and Technology.

We hope to introduce the children to new ingredients and help them experience easy preparation of healthy foods.

Be Healthy Week is planned as part of our Personal Development offering and complements our PSHE curriculum.
