Health<\/span><\/h3>\n

18.2.25 – This term we are learning about ways to keep fit and healthy. We have learned about getting a good nights sleep, dental hygiene and are now learning about healthy eating. We listened to the story ‘Handa’s Surprise’, discussed the various fruits and then we created<\/strong> our own fruit kebab! There was lots of focus<\/strong> needed for this task! We tried all the fruits and thoroughly enjoyed eating our own kebab with our classmates. I think many of the children want to make more at home!<\/p>\n
