Along with the competition this month, teachers can read up why Busy Kids Need Big Breakfasts, especially before P.E class. Kids can learn more about some Super Fruits and Vegetables and how to make the most of these important, nutritious foods.
For parents this month, we’re emphasising the importance of regular physical activity for our kids, whether it be Making Time for Team Sports or ensuring our kids get Top Marks for Regular Exercise.

Busy Kids Need Big Breakfasts
What a child eats for breakfast may affect how they perform at school throughout the day. If they have physical education classes, a bigger brekkie is certainly in order.
KIDS
Super Fruits and Vegetables
We all know we should eat more fruit and vegetables. But what does 'more' mean? And which ones are best?
PARENTS
Make Time For Team Sports
Are your children spending too much time playing computer games or watching TV? Team sports may be the answer to getting inactive children interested in exercise.
Top Marks For Regular Exercise
Physically active kids tend to do better in school than their more sedentary friends.
