We were very excited to welcome Gladiator Steel (Zack) to Blossom. The children had a fantastic opportunity to meet him and ask lots of questions about his training, career and healthy lifestyle. We were amazed to learn that he exercises ten times a week! Inspired by his visit, we will be incorporating some of the core-strengthening exercises he recommended into our Occupational Therapy (OT) sessions.

In class, we continued our learning about healthy lifestyles by discussing the importance of healthy eating. We explored how protein helps our bodies grow, repair muscles and stay strong, particularly when we are active. We also learnt about the importance of staying hydrated, and Zack reminded us that we should aim to drink around 1.5 litres of water each day to help us stay healthy, focused and full of energy. The children enjoyed sharing ideas about nutritious foods and discussing ways they can make healthy choices every day.
