New Year resolutions often involve an intention to become healthier. I wonder how many of you are doing Dry January or even Veganuary? In school, it is no different! This week has seen schools across Cambridgeshire mark ‘Healthy You Schools Week’. On Wednesday, Miss Gibbs led a whole school assembly about the importance of being physically healthy and of a balanced diet.
Children have enjoyed 60 second movement breaks and opportunities to practice mindfulness. In certain year groups the children have learnt about the ‘Eatwell plate’ which shows how much of what we eat overall should come from each food group to achieve a balanced diet.
If your child brings a packed lunch to school why not involve them in deciding what should go in it to make sure it is healthy in line with the Eatwell plate. In Foundation Stage, the children have had great fun making and eating healthy soup; they even chopped their own vegetables and wrote down their recipe. If you get requests for soup or to go to Parkrun this weekend you know why!
