BEING HEALTHY

A group of 5 - 11 year olds at Young Asian Voices have worked together to come up with a list of things which explains what 'Being Healthy' means.  Read the list and see if you agree

• Good food like vegetables, fruit, rice and milk
• Exercise like running, PE, keep fit, playing sport, swimming
• Don’t smoke, no alcohol, no bad drugs
• Health Centres to get medicines and tablets
• Being healthy in your head
• Being brainy
• Getting enough sleep

But not all children in Sunderland are healthy

• some children are unwell
• some children don't feel healthy in their heads
• some children are overweight
• some children don't do sport or exercise
• some children smoke, drink or take drugs

To make things better Sunderland Children's Trust will

• give children healthier school meal choices
• help children be healthy in the head
• make sure children do 2 hours sport or exercise each week
• help children to stop smoking, drinking and taking drugs
