WANT SOMETHING TO DO NOW?

It's horrible when you're ill, isn't it? Can you think of things that you can do to stay healthy? Some examples are:

eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day
brushing your teeth after you eat sweets
getting enough sleep every night

Can you think of any more? Write a list.

Choose one of the things from your list (for example, eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day). Make a poster or a leaflet about the topic. Imagine that your poster or leaflet is to help children stay healthy (for example, you could say why it's important to eat fruit and vegetables, you could cut out or draw some pictures, you could write some ideas for recipes).
