Year 4 and Year 6 have been chosen to take part in the GULP challenge.

The challenge has started today with the children excited about the idea of giving up sugary drinks for the next 21 days.
They said it will be a challenge but it helps to remember that drinking too many sugary drinks can:

  • Cause people to store over a stone of harmful fat in a year
  • Take a child over their maximum recommended daily intake of sugar
  • Cause tooth decay
  • Increase the risk of dying from heart disease by a third
  • Increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes

Our children were very happy to see themselves in the paper.
