Happy Healthy Heart Day!
At First Steps Newmarket, we believe in the importance of giving our tamariki (children) the best possible start in life. We strive to create an environment that promotes and supports healthy eating and physical activity through our Healthy Heart Programme.
In celebration of Valentines’ Day, we had a hearty party at the centre! All the children enjoyed taking part in active play and celebration of friendships! They came to First Steps Newmarket dressed in their favourite red clothes. We took the opportunity of teaching our children on healthy eating and physical activity to help them learn, play and grow. We discussed ways on how to keep our hearts healthy and strong. The children pointed out what they thinkare the healthy food and sorted healthy and unhealthy food.
The children had lots of fun posing some yoga movements with confidence during mat times. They all ate the yummy veggie pasta for lunch. The children also helped in baking some yummy fruit muffins by adding berries and mangoes in it. They also loved the berry smoothies to cool us down in the heat! The children also participated in making some lovely valentine cards for their families. What a busy fun day we all had!
