the following:
Tots-Bee-Fit - take part in lots of fun and exciting
games for children and their parents/carers.
Munch Time - meet Munch Junior and help him

The 4-7 programme has recently been to Paddock
Village Hall. The group had a great time meeting
new friends and learning lots of new ways to
become healthier.
To take us to our final destination we had a fantastic
journey through the final assault course challenge,
this was the only challenge standing between us and
getting our last ticket to enter the spaceship which
would take us to our final destination….a well
earned party!
Thank you and well done to all the families who took
part in the February (to April) programme!
Next programme coming to the Huddersfield ar-
ea in October 2014
RSG 7-13yrs Well done to all the families who attended and completed Ready, Steady, Go 7-13 in April at Batley Baths!
12 families attended the eight weeks and learnt lots of new tips and tricks on how to eat healthier and
become more active. To celebrate the success of the programme and the changes the families had made,
the families took part in a group reward of a free fun swim followed by a party with lots of healthy food,
games and a bouncy castle!
“I have learnt many things on this course. I have learnt that I don’t need certain foods, I can still eat similar
foods but with less fat”
RSG 4-7yrs

8 Health Tips and Activities...
Encouraging children to try new foods!
Keep trying: A child may need 10 -
15 tastes of a new food to develop a
liking for it, so don’t give up after a few
attempts.
Encourage: Don’t force your child to try a
new food just encourage with praise when
they try something new and then try again
another day if they don’t like it.
Choice: Ask your child to pick a new fruit or
vegetable while at the supermarket and chat
about it. The more familiar they become the
more likely they are to eat it. Always have fruit
in a bowl easy accessible for your child.
A good example: If your child
sees you eating healthily and
trying new foods they are more
likely to copy you and other
family members.
Involve: Get your
child involved in food
preparation and
maybe even grow
your own fruit and
veg, this may en-
courage willingness
to try new foods.
The same: Try serving
new foods in the same
way as favourite foods,
i.e. instead of chips try
sweet potato chips, or
use a familiar sauce with
chicken or fish instead.
