Healthy Lifestyles
At Co-op Academy Penny Oaks we work hard to promote Healthy Lifestyles. We provide nutrition lessons for the children and family cook off sessions where parents and children use the food we receive from Rethink Food and create lovely nutritious meals. Each class has the responsibility of running the Rethink Food stall each half term. The curriculum for each class includes a half-term focus on the Sustainable Development goals linked to the Rethink Food ethos.
We promote active classrooms for the children inside the school and a wealth of active sessions outside of school. Break times and lunchtimes promote activity with every child having a skipping rope. We provide active activity boxes, problem-solving kits, scooters and many other opportunities to be active at break times.
At Penny Oaks we strongly believe in the benefit of gardening on mental health and well-being as supported by our own research conducted through our practitioner enquiry programme. Every class has time for gardening integrated into their timetable where they tend to their Key Stage garden and our Queen Elizabeth II memorial garden.
