 Asthma and Children’s Physical Activity
The Healthy Lives teams offers a range of workshops to support staff and families throughout the year. This month we are offering online sessions on Asthma and Children’s Physical Activity.
Thursday 10 March 2022 from 10.00am - 10.45am
Tuesday 8 March 2022 from 3.45pm - 4.30pm
This session is for parents, teachers and any other school staff interested in learning more about physical activity for children with asthma. Learn why physical activity is important for children with asthma, how to address children’s worries about engaging in physical activity, and steps to take to ease your own worries about your child exercising.
For more information or to book, please contact: SultanaX.Begum@towerhamlets.gov.uk.
 Park Run at Mile End Park
Did you know that Park Run takes place every Saturday at Mile End Park starting at 9am? Park Run is a free, fun, and friendly weekly 5k community event. Walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate – it's up to you! This is a great opportunity to get your family moving. Children under 11 must stay within an arm’s length of their parent or carer at all times during the run. You must register on their website to participate. Why not try it?
 Food Education Like You’ve Never Tasted Before
TastEd (which is short for Taste Education) is an organisation that promotes food education for children to help them become more confident, adventurous and healthy eaters. On their website they have free, online resources for parents to use. These are easy and fun ways for you and your child to explore fruit and vegetables together using whatever ingredients you happen to have in your kitchen right now. The hope is that by the end of these sessions, your child will have used their natural curiosity and their five senses to develop a more positive relationship with food, especially vegetables.

The Sports & Physical Activity Team, GLL Better and Partners present a week of celebrating females participating together in physical activity.
