This month we are launching some new Curriculum Lessons for the 1Seven website. 1Seven’s key message is Move More, Eat Well, and we are proud to be able to provide resources to help educate our kids on the vital fundamentals of living a healthy lifestyle.
Our lessons are among the most used parts of our website, and we invite teachers to take some time to check out the latest instalment, which focuses on nutrition for kids. Our featured articles are also all about the importance of eating well.
For teachers this month we pose the question What Are Your Kids Eating? Parents can teach their children how to Be A Sometimes Cookie Monster, and for kids we have some advice on how to make the most of Healthy Snacks.
Make sure you keep an eye on the teachers’ section of the website in the coming weeks as more lessons join the library.
