 IMPORTANT UPDATE
We are really glad that children are now going back to school and continuing their education. As a result of this we are now going to change the newsletter.
From next week there will be a Wednesday edition for school staff, with lesson plans, resources and other school relevant information, which can be used to support the teaching of health and wellbeing. This will go out to school contacts only.
There will also be a Friday edition for parents and families to support their ongoing health and wellbeing. This will go out to all contacts.
The Healthy Lives Team supports schools, pupils and families with everything to do with health and wellbeing. We want to help you to live fitter, healthier and happier lives.
We now have a Healthy Lives Team webpage where you can find out more about the team and access Healthy Schools resources and all our archived newsletters.
We are incredibly proud in Tower Hamlets to have supported schools to gain more Healthy Schools awards than any other borough in London. So please use this newsletter in whatever way suits you best to stay as fit and healthy as possible.
If you're in a school, please share this newsletter using your social media or website using the following share button, or you can click the hyperlink in the top right corner of this email:

Here's a selection of fun activities and helpful information for you and your family...
 Relaxation tips for bedtime
Feeling relaxed is important in the run up to bedtime for both you and your child. If your child is experiencing difficulty sleeping it can make you both feel anxious. Get some help with The Children's Sleep Charity.
 Create your own maze
Use this picture of the maze at Glendurgan in Cornwall as inspiration to create your own maze. Have some fun creating your own puzzle with Free Printable Puzzles.
 Lots of fun activities on nature and the environment
At the Suntrap Centre you will find a whole range of fun, educational ideas you can do with your children in your local green space, all with a focus on nature and the environment.
 Learn about food and farming
LEAF Education offers young people across all key stages the opportunity to focus on how their food is produced and some of the farmers behind it.
