Day 2 and it was the turn for Orchard County P.S. to host St. Patrick's P.S. Today's focus in Primary 7s Shared Education Programme was PDMU. We discussed the ideal balanced diet and foods that could make up a healthy meal which could match the Healthy Eating Plate guidelines but still taste delicious. We used clay to make our own healthy meal and will look forward to painting our pieces when they have dried. We met Paula from Relax Kids who taught us about the 3 stages of brain development. The Relax Kids steps were really helpful for calming an anxious or worried mind and we look forward to using the strategies Paula taught us to remain calm and relaxed and help us to stretch. In the afternoon we took part in healthy lifestyle debates on interesting topics such as smoking, homework, sport and traditions. An enjoyable day was had by all.
