Healthy Harold visits littlies

Kindergarten students started their short school week by visiting the Life Education Van and learning about healthy habits.

They enthusiastically answered questions on when you should wash your hands, brush your teeth and take a bath or a shower. Some were of the opinion that less is more.

The students also received valuable information on choosing healthy foods, the benefits of physical activity and sleep and safety at home, school and in the community.

Life Education, along with its mascot, Healthy Harold have been teaching children and young people health, safety and well-being skills for more than forty years.

But what did the little ones take away from Harold's visit?

"You have to eat carrots, wash your hands and eat green things every day" – Amelia (5)

"Junk food is sometimes food and healthy food is everyday food" – Tiffany (5)

"I have to wash and brush and tie my hair every day" – Anna (5)
