London Wasps support Halton Combined School "Health Week"

Read more from Ben Smiley about our health education assembly

How being active contributes to being healthy

This week (28th May to 1st June) is "Health Week" at the Halton Combined School, Aylesbury, and we were delighted to be invited to launch the week with a health lifestyle assembly for the children. Community Rugby Coach Ben Smiley visited the school on 28th May to talk to the children about the basics of a healthy lifestyle;

Why it is important to lead a healthy lifestyle
What a healthy lifestyle actually is
How being active contributes to being healthy
How to eat healthily
Why being healthy has benefits beyond just our health

Following the assembly, Ben told wasps.co.uk: "Halton Combined School have been very enthusiastic supporters of London Wasps in recent years, and we were pleased to be able support their event. The assembly was also a great opportunity to build up the excitement for our delivery of the MBNA Tackling Numbers and Aviva Premiership Rugby Schools Programme in the school next half term."
