What did the participants think of the programme?
The programme was great and introduced many talking points for the children. The 2nd session was very active and got the children moving - perfect for this time of day just after lunch.

Engaging, active programme introducing our P2 pupils to a healthy lifestyle - thank you from P2.

This programme is always excellent and very beneficial to the children’s learning. Aspects that went particularly well I feel, are all the practical examples, e.g., the huge healthy plate, use of sponges for lungs etc. When activities are practical, it helps to keep children engaged and focused on the learning.

I think the ladies that deliver the programme are fantastic with the children – they have great patience and clarity when speaking. The content of the programme is very beneficial and informative for our pupils. It is a great success in P2 every year!

The delivery of the program is excellent and engaging. The facilitators are always very prepared which always makes the sessions run smoothly. If I could change anything it would only be to have these sessions in the first term of school as it fits in so well with our topic that is all about keeping our bodies healthy.

Any activity that physically involved the children such as taking part in the food values activity always works well. Any physical examples of the topics always works well such as the sugar lumps or the various props that illustrate the body organs. Having video clips to play always supports the children better understand the topic of the session as well.
