We had another healthy day at Stane today. It’s the second day of Health Week and we had more visitors to our school to help the children develop their understanding of Health and Wellbeing.
Mary from Asda in Newmains worked with every class in the school today. She was helping the children to think about ‘healthy swaps’. She had samples of healthier, baked crisps and tasty snacks to replace sugary sweets such as carrots and cucumber sticks.
The children are also taking part in Healthy Food Technology activities this week – P3/4 and P5/6 were making healthy ‘fruit pizzas’ today.
Jordan, our Active Schools Co-ordinator started our Lunch time Walking Challenge today. The P6/7 Playground Leaders were encouraging children to join in to a healthy walk for a lunchtime activity. This will take place every Tuesday.
Natalie, a dance instructor from Active Schools worked with each class to teach them a fun, active Dance Routine.
To complete our active, healthy day, we had the second ‘Family Fitness Fun’ session. Parents, pupils and staff came together to share in a ‘Cyber Coach’ fitness session. It was great fun and everyone was enjoying the aerobic routine followed by some calming Yoga. It was lovely to have everyone take part in this shared, family experience. It has been so successful, we have decided to have this every Monday from 3pm-4pm. All families from the school and nursery can come along – we’d love to see you there.
And that’s not everything we managed to fit in today – we also had the first of our P1-3 Multi-Sports club led by Jordann this week and Mrs. Parker led the next after school Nurture Club!
As I said yesterday, it is busy, eventful days that show just what the Stane team can achieve when we all work together. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
