Free two-day half-term programme for 11-14 year olds at Southend Planetarium with fun activities, cooking, movement, yoga and interactive sessions to help children learn healthy habits and wellbeing
Join us this February half term for a completely free, two‑day programme at Southend Planetarium!
It’s a fun, hands‑on experience designed to help children learn about health, wellbeing and looking after their bodies in a positive, enjoyable way.
Over the two days, children will take part in a mix of exciting activities, including:
- Food preparation workshops – practical, confidence‑boosting sessions where children learn simple, tasty cooking skills
- Visits to Indirock and Brazilarte – energetic, creative activities that get everyone moving and having fun
- A calming yoga session with MyYogiTribe – helping children relax, build mindfulness and understand their bodies
- Interactive learning sessions covering:
- Portion sizes and trying a variety of foods
- Oral health and how to care for their smile
- Making healthy, balanced choices
- Sleep, energy, and what our bodies need to feel good
This programme is designed to be enjoyable, social and motivating. Children will gain the knowledge and confidence to make healthy choices, while having a brilliant time with others their age.
Parents must also complete a short, self‑paced online learning course to help them support their children in making healthy, positive choices. And provide a healthy packed lunch on both days.
