Make it Count

<<< Back to Pathway

The ‘Make It Count’ programme is designed to teach children aged 4-7 and their families the importance of exercising on a regular basis and making healthier food choices over a 10-12 week period. Throughout the programme the children learn about the following areas:

• 
  The ‘Eatwell’ plate
• Healthy and Unhealthy Drinks
• Water
• Breakfast
• Fruit
• Milk and Dairy
• Vegetables
• Healthy Snacks
• Fast Food
• Meals and Portion Size
• Activities

The topics are chosen, to include the most important points relating to healthy living. The games that are played are designed so that the children can play them outside of school with no or minimal equipment and are created to include children who don’t necessarily enjoy sports.

Family Fun

is an extension of the Make it Count programme and allows the whole family to enjoy exercising together.
