Early Year 2 – Entry Point – Healthy Habits: Here We Come!
On Friday, 22 August 2025, the EY2 children took part in an exciting outdoor event at Manahan Stadium. The activity, called Healthy Habits: Here We Come!, gave the children the chance to learn the importance of staying active through fun and engaging games.
The morning began with warm-up exercises, followed by group challenges such as the Hula Hoop Relay, Ball Transfer, and Flag Relay. Each game required the children to take turns, follow rules, and encourage their peers, helping them practise teamwork and cooperation. They also learnt to listen carefully to instructions and to respect safety guidelines in a public setting.
More importantly, the children discovered that being active could be both enjoyable and rewarding. They showed resilience by trying new activities and not giving up easily, even when tasks felt a little challenging. This experience helped them build confidence in their abilities and a positive attitude towards physical movement.
Looking ahead, activities like this could inspire children to make healthy choices beyond school and carry these habits into their daily lives. By starting young, they gain not only physical benefits but also the foundation for a lifelong healthy lifestyle. ***
