SUPER STAR !

 
Healthy living was on the agenda at Wyburns Primary School in Rayleigh last week with over 50 children enjoying the STAR Partnership's Healthy Living Programme.
 
 
The STAR Partnership is supported by the Essex FA and made up of Southend United, West Ham United and the Genesis Housing Group and the three year scheme, aimed at children from years one to six, has been a huge success at primary schools throughout the Rochford area.

STAR's Pat Kielty commented: "The programme is designed to increase young people's awareness of the benefits of healthy eating and exercise. The sessions don't just include fun outdoor activities but lessons about healthy foods and diet as well."

So far, the curriculum time scheme has proved a huge hit and the tutors, provided by West Ham United, have successfully engaged over 2000 youngsters.

Miss Bunton, a Teacher at Wyburns Primary School, said: "The school has thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. The response from the pupils has been excellent and it really fits in well with our curriculum."

Pat Kielty added: "It's great to see primary school children enjoying the programme and becoming aware of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle."
