Healthy Eating Programme in Y3

Thursday, 22 April 2021 

Dear Parents/Carers,

As part of the Year 3 PE work, our children are taking part in a scheme called GULP (Give Up Loving Pop) to help promote a healthy lifestyle over the next 6 weeks. This programme is being delivered in conjunction with Burnley Football Club. There is further information at the bottom of this page.

In addition to these lessons, they can take part in a challenge to reduce the amount of fizzy drinks that they consume.

If the children take part in this challenge, they will be asked to record in school, the days they do not have fizzy or sugary drinks.  There are various incentives such as stickers, for children who achieve this challenge.

They have also received a free water bottle each as part of this health promotion.

If you wish to find out more about these lessons you can ask to speak to Mr Wall in school, who works for BFC.

Thank you for your support, 

Mrs Sarah Bell

Headteacher
