Welcome!
Hi everybody,
Welcome to the Spring into Septembers blog! Spring into September is a program encouraging students and their families to eat healthy and be active for at least 30 minutes a day, each day during September.
Developing an understanding of the importance of physical activity during the primary years can help ensure children to adopt a healthy lifestyle approach throughout their whole lives. It is recommended that children aged 5+ years accumulate 60 minutes of moderate exercise per day.
Spring into September encourages 30 minutes of physical activity per day outside of school hours. Students can then write what activity they participated in on the blog and draw inspiration from other posters!
During childhood physical activity can assist with:
- Building strong bones and muscles
- Improving self- esteem
- Reducing stress
- Reducing anxiety
- Developing motor skills
- Improving performance at school
- Higher levels of concentration
On our blog page you will find a comment form. For your chance to win a prize each week, write your first name and class as well as the activity you did that day to go in the draw! Winners will be announced each week at assembly.
Staying active all year is very important for our physical and mental wellbeing. With Spring arriving, what better time to start your journey to a healthier you!
