It is wonderful to see children having healthier packed lunches now, and the children who have school dinners now have a salad bar every day, and in addition to the hot healthy meals they can also choose a healthy sandwich option.
At the end of the lunch hour, the bell now rings 10 minutes early and the children gather together in their keystage playground to do "Wake up! Shake up!. This is a dance work out to lively music, and it is so much fun that even the care taker and the office staff are coming out to join us!
In addition to this exercise the children will take part in a "Health Challenge" in the summer field, organised by the School Council. There is a track marked out round the school field and the challenge is to walk round it 4 times, and then you have walked a kilometre!
During the Summer term we will also be having a "Celebrating the Environment" week, from May 21st and a "Fitness Week" during the week of Sports Day. The summer fair is being changed and will be an "Enterprise Showcase", as all the children will be involved in making products, promotional materials and selling.
Everyone will be invited to help "Get Hovingham Healthy", and support these events.... watch this space for more updates!
