CHILDREN are being helped to sustain healthy lifestyles outside the classroom through a new online platform.
The Healthy Kidz dashboard allows teachers to access engaging and fun cross-curricular lesson plans and educational activities.
It covers physical, wellbeing and general health.
Each lesson completed adds to every child's health profile, with comprehensive activity reports generated on an individual, class and school level.
These reports are instantly available for boards of governors, principals, teachers, pupils and parents.
In addition to the dashboard, every pupil has access to the free Healthy Kidz app. It encourages all children to continue their health and wellbeing journey outside the classroom.
Pupils redeem points awarded for completed lessons and recorded at-home activities, enabling them to upgrade their Virtual Buddy avatar and move up the Healthy Kidz class league tables.
"We have been working extremely hard on this exciting new venture for Healthy Kidz. Developing our digital programme over the past number of months has resulted in a one of a kind online platform that will help teachers to deliver, record and report on their pupil's health and wellbeing," said Healthy Kidz Director of Coaching Paul Carvill.
"We understand time constraints that principals and teachers are under, so the platform's bespoke design is easy to navigate for teachers and live reporting functions mean the schools can access downloadable data at the click of a button."
