Our \u201cHealthy and Happy Week\u201d started on Monday morning with the children trying out cheerleading with Tina, our Active Schools Co-ordinator. As you can see from the children’s faces, they needed to concentrate hard and it\u00a0was tricky knowing which pom-pom to wave at the right time but the main thing\u00a0was that everyone experienced a different and fun way to enjoy exercise. Music while you work certainly seems to appeal to us all.<\/p>\n

The afternoon children learned some basic rugby skills with Colin, the rugby coach. As well as putting the children through some introductory training, he talked to them about how important good diet is, alongside exercise, to keep fit. Unfortunately, the children seem to have been running so quickly that our camera didn\u2019t manage to capture them clearly but they certainly enjoyed Colin\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n

Thanks go to Tina and Colin for a super start to our “Healthy and Happy Week”.<\/p>\n
