This book is designed to be read with children, to engage them in discussion about having a positive attitude to exercise, movement and activity, and the value of a healthy lifestyle.The number of very overweight (obese) infants and children is increasing year on year. Without intervention, these children are likely to be overweight during childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The problem is made worse with children accessing more screen time and leading more sedentary lives. Action needs to be taken sooner rather than later.With this in mind the pupils at Salterhebble Junior and Infant School wanted to contribute to helping children become more aware of health and fitness. Based on an original storyboard by Martin Haigh (Enterprise Partner and Governor at Salterhebble Junior and Infant School), the pupils developed their own extended storyboards. Then, snippets of each were merged to form the final, illustrated story showing the value of health and fitness in young people and their families.Children - did you know that?...• some children put on too much weight when they are quite young• extra weight can make children unhealthy and unfit• children who are overweight might start to lose confidence and stop playing with other children• some children might become sad if they lose confidence due to being overweightWould you like to help these children by telling them about health and fitness?
