Keeping Healthy By Ella, Kiera, Alistair and Siôn.

What is health?

Keeping Healthy Week This week is Keeping Healthy Week. Year 6 have been organising a special week to show how healthy we are as a school. Some of the other students have sent another presentation round to different years and 2-3 for assembly so every one can be told how important exercise is.

Walk to School On Monday morning, approximately 148 people walked to school. 8 people rode either their bike or scooter and an astonishing 220 came in a car. =

Walking to school (if you live in Daventry) can help you keep fit and healthy. If you live else where then try to get dropped off nearby/get dropped off at a friends house(if their parent gives you there approval) and then you can walk to school from there. Also you keep the environment healthy so walk to school!

Some facts we found We found out that: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A can of coke has over 10 teaspoons of sugar. In 500 soft drinks there are 52 pounds of sugar. Teenagers have to have over 9 hours of sleep minimum. You need 8 glasses of water every day minimum. You need your 5 a day which includes fruit and vegetables. Keep fit and do lots of exercise. Drinking two small glasses of milk a day can help you be healthy. Drinking milk helps your body grow and makes your muscles healthy.

Getting Enough Sleep Getting enough sleep is really important because it keeps you up and moving and alert. Also it makes sure that you can make the most of your day. Do you want to be yawning at school?

Thank you Keep healthy and protect the environment
