HEALTHY EATING
Healthy body, healthy mind
Healthy diet: Eatwell plate
The eatwell plate shows the recommended balance of foods in the diet.
Make sure your diet is balanced, like the eatwell plate. Have lots of different
types of foods in your diet. Drink plenty of fluids, e.g. water, milk and fruit
juice. Enjoy your food!
Healthy bodies: Getting to school is more fun on foot!
Walking, running, skipping, hopping and scooting
are all good for your body – and they’re way more fun
than sitting still in a car or bus. Why not ask the
grown-up who takes you to school if you can walk
some or all of the way?
Experts acknowledge that sleep plays a significant role in brain development
and it is important for children to get enough sleep as their bodies grow and
mature. As well as the role it plays in brain development, sleep also plays an
important role in our brain’s day-to-day ability to function. Lack of sleep
makes it much harder for us to concentrate and we become forgetful, irritable
and prone to being clumsy and making mistakes. Getting an early night on the
days when you have been at school is crucial. This is when the brain
processes its new learning and makes sense of the new information. Scientific
evidence shows that the right amount of night-time sleep is just as important
for children’s development as healthy eating and regular exercise.
