Tips for a good start to term 1

Here are some tips for a smooth start to the school year:

*Early bedtime so your child gets enough sleep (9-11 hours for kids aged 5-13) 

*Regular exercise (about 1 hour a day, 3 days a week – walking, playing sport, swimming, games etc.) 

*Healthy eating – involve your kids in choosing healthy lunchbox options. That means less chance of full lunchboxes coming home! Find some great healthy lunchbox ideas at this link>>>
