Sports Event with Teachsport

On Thursday 15th June Teachsport Managed and supported delivery of a sports activity day to which it had invited all primary schools in the area. 

We set up and hold a parent workshop whilst the children participated in the sport as it was such a gorgeous day, the parents were presented with the Move Up project which was held outside on the field. 

A short information presentation of the project and the days planned activities was made at the start of the day it was then “ready set go” and off they went trying out lots of different sports.

Sweet Potato

This spud is one of the most nutritious (and inexpensive) vegetables around. The Vitamin A in sweet potatoes keeps eyes healthy, and acts like an antioxidant in the body. Sweet potatoes are a favorite among babies because of their natural sweetness and bright color, but they are often forgotten once kids get older. 

Try a baked sweet potato the next time you need a side dish. Simply wash, pierce with a fork, and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until tender. Then, serve like a baked potato topped with cinnamon-sugar and vanilla yogurt. Apple sauce or a drizzle of maple syrup also make good toppings. If you’ve got a mashed potato lover, then try Two-Potato Mash.

Cricket Event at St Dunstans Jubilee

On Tuesday 13th June Teachsport managed and delivered a cricket event to which it had invited all local primary schools to attend. 11 accepted the invitation and joined us at St Dunstans Jubilee ground for a full day of cricketing activities for both boys and girls. 

The day started with a presentation by Ross Walker of our Move Up project, discussion on leading a healthy lifestyle and keeping active the children then participated in perfecting their cricketing skills. 

The day finished with a competition for which a cup and individual medals were presented to the winning team.

Salmon Burgers

If salmon isn’t a food you would think to serve to your child, then you might want to reconsider this pink fish. 

Wild salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein which children need for proper growth as well as those Omega-3 fatty acids that are essential for brain development and heart health. 

Another plus for busy parents, salmon requires little seasoning due to natural flavor and can be baked or grilled in just a few minutes. If mercury levels have you worried, then take note of the fact that salmon is consistently rated by the FDA as one of the five fish lowest in mercury. 

Try one of these kid-friendly salmon recipes tonight: Salmon Burgers or Roasted Salmon with Citrus and Herbs.

Do you know Zumba?

Zumba is a program with combination of dance and fitness. It involves aerobics and dance, which are matched to the appropriately selected tracks. As an innovative form of fitness it is based on simple dance moves performed to energetic music which comes from the following dance styles: salsa, hip-hop, soca, samba, rumba, reggaeton. Classes are taught only by instructors licensed by Zumba Fitness, LLC.

Zumba is also an endurance training, aerobic and cardio and it is usually an hour long. Alternating fast and slow rhythms burn fat, slim the silhouette and improve the physical condition.

Zumba is great for both the body and the mind. In other words is for everyone who likes to move to music regardless of age, dance experience or skills because it is easy to adjust to individual needs and abilities.
