It enables the children to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>make informed decisions in order to improve their mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing<\/li>\n<li>experience challenge and enjoyment<\/li>\n<li>experience positive aspects of healthy living and activity for themselves<\/li>\n<li>apply their mental, emotional, social and physical skills to pursue a healthy lifestyle<\/li>\n<li>make a successful move to the next stage of education or work<\/li>\n<li>establish a pattern of health and wellbeing which will be sustained into adult life, and which will help to promote the health and wellbeing of the next generation of Scottish children.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each week in Collydean we make sure that the children are involved in the recommended two hours of physical activity.\u00a0 Pupils take part in both indoor and outdoor PE lessons.\u00a0 We build periods of outdoor learning into our weekly timetables. The classes are encouraged to fully utilise the school playground and areas we have around Collydean e.g the wooded areas, the Louise Blundell Sensory Garden and Magnus Drive play area. \u00a0In the summer term, during lunch and break times the older children teach the younger children playground games and we have playground equipment to support these activities.<\/p>\n<p>The children are encouraged to choose healthy options at lunch and we encourage them to drink water during the day.\u00a0 This is a healthy way to keep hydrated whilst not impacting on dental hygiene or making it more difficult for children to concentrate through excessive sugar or additives such as colourings or sweeteners.\u00a0<strong>Children will only have access to plain water during class time.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Children will still be able to drink milk and still juices \/ flavoured water at break and lunch time.\u00a0 Please support this by only sending plain water in water bottles and no fizzy drinks or energy drinks at all.<\/p>\n<p>Through the year, there are many after school clubs organised that allow the children to be active.\u00a0 These could include activities such as football, gymnastics, multi-sports, basketball and netball. We continue to provide a wide variety of taster sessions throughout the year \u2013 these have included taekwondo and yoga.\u00a0 NHS Fife are working with staff, pupils and families to support a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health Promoting Schools At Collydean, we are deeply committed to promoting the health and well being of our whole school community.\u00a0 We\u00a0believe that we should\u00a0work hard to help everyone, to make sure that we are all as fit and healthy as we possibly can be!
