Since the launch party, our Champs have been busy exploring all there is to do with being healthy!
Today we continued the journey towards becoming ‘Healthy Eating Ambassadors’ by participating in a programme by the good people at Health Promotion Board - ‘Healthy Lifestyle Puppet Show’!
During the show Champs were introduced to different elements of healthy living such as caring for their eyes. They learnt what ‘myopia’ is and how it affects our lives. Different scenarios were enacted out such as reading on the floor, playing games on the computer at close range etc., to illustrate bad eye care habits. Champs took notes and tips on ways to care for their eyes namely, reducing screen time, take an eye break and going outdoors to play.
Moving on from caring for their eyes, Champs learnt the important numbers from 1 to 5 - 5 cups of water a day, 4 portions of fruits and vegetables, 3 to use less salt, less sugar, less fat and food items with the healthier choice symbol, 2 - 2 hours of outdoor activity and 1 - doing all these habits on a daily basis.
To gain more understanding about food portions Champs were introduced to the Healthy Eating Plate. They were taught the proportion of food for each food group. Champs were encouraged to sort out the food magnets on the healthy eating plate to determine which food item goes onto the plate.
Champs were given badge templates with the words ‘I am a healthy hero!’ as part of their journey to being a Healthy Eating Ambassador!
At the end of the programme Champs participated in a quiz about what they had learnt e.g the three eye care habits, healthier choice symbol etc.
Our Champs had a great time learning about healthy eating and most importantly what we can do to take care of ourselves! Stay tuned for more updates of what we will be doing on our SSDB journey!
