Asthma and Children’s Physical Activity

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.

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.
