Cohuna Pre School

A big surprise was waiting when children and families arrived at the Cohuna Pre-School this morning with a special healthy breakfast and an obstacle course set up in their backyard. The event was the final Walk to School and Healthy Breakfast event to be held in the Gannawarra Shire as part of the VicHealth funded Walk to School project.

 

Children arrived with a bowl, cup and spoon in hand and waited patiently on the mat enjoying a song until everyone was settled. Some children had walked to kinder, others has scooted or ridden their bikes. Lots of mums and younger siblings came along as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Council’s Health and Wellbeing Planner, Narelle O’Donoghue, spoke to the children about the importance of being active and filling little tummies with healthy breakfast foods like cereal, toast, yoghurt and milk in readiness for a busy day of playing and learning.

 

Year 9 students from Cohuna Secondary College assisted the children with their breakfast choices and helped get wobbly bowls of cereal back to tables. Cr. Mark Arians presented each child with a “It’s Cool to Walk to School” sticker.  

 

Following breakfast the children raced outside to enjoy the obstacle course. There was lots of laughter and chatter as children practiced balancing on the balancing beam and stepping stones, climbed over ramps, swinging bridges, and scuttled through tunnels.
