The children were then encouraged to reflect on the Health related activities they have participated in and select appropriate activities to include in a DVD, in order to raise awareness of Healthy Living. The areas they chose to focus on were  Health Activities in Class  Health Projects and Topics  St Cadoc’s Health Week  Healthy Eating Options in St Cadoc’s  Sports and Activities The children then divided into groups to plan the different sections of the DVD.
