At the start of our “Healthy and Happy Week” we talked about what we can do to stay healthy. We thought we would share some of the children’s thoughts. More of their ideas can be enjoyed in the “Thinking Books” in the book area.
What makes us healthy?
Neve: sleep helps you grow.
Courtney: brush your teeth before you go to bed.
Evan: vegetables. I like bananas too.
Zak:if you don’t eat healthy food you get fillings.
Finlay: if all your teeth fall out, you only get rubber teeth and you have to put them in a glass of water at night.
Hannah A.: carrots
Rohan: if you play on a trampoline it makes you healthy.
Layton: sweets make you fat and they can make you hyper. I learned that from my Mum. If you go hyper you go out of yourself and be naughty.
Theo: vegetables.
Paige: have breakfast.
Jack V.: eat fruit.
Miley: you can’t have sweets all the time.
Ryan: you need lots of sleep. You get rested through the night.
Theo has really enjoyed the cheerleading, giving us an example of the routine at home.
The Healthy Eating week has been good as we have shared Theos info at family mealtimes having a discussion about what is on our plate and the portion sizes.
