Kindergarten enjoyed a visit to the Life Education van yesterday. The students have been learning about ‘Who We Are’ and discussing healthy lifestyle choices. There was great excitement as they arrived at the van and plenty of questions about Healthy Harold.

The educator Haylee helped the students to think about how to keep their body active with exercise and discussed the difference between "anytime food" vs. "sometimes food". They sorted foods into these categories and talked about how food like potatoes or fish are "anytime food", but items fried in lots of oil are "sometimes food".

A highlight of the visit was when the lights were dimmed, seeing Tam the body and having fun with Healthy Harold.

"Healthy Harold was so funny when he was eating the carrot and banana. He was such a silly giraffe" – Madison

"I got to sort the food into anytime and sometimes. It was a bit tricky and fun" – Annabelle

"Harold told us about doing exercise to helped us be strong" – Zixie

"We got to see the heart pumping really fast when the person did exercise. It was slow when the person was sleeping" – Vikram
