Veggie Run - Healthy App

Veggie Run, the newly developed healthy app only for Havering Primary and Junior school children is launching on the 17 April.

What is the aim?
The app aims to create healthy competition amongst primary and Junior school children, where they learn to dodge unhealthy foods and get rewarded by collecting fruit and vegetables.

Why get the App?
The main advantage for pupils downloading and playing this app, is that pupils can win your school sports prizes!! These prizes are worth up to £200! Each school will receive a unique reference code that they share with pupils, who use this when they login to the game.

Where do I get the App?
Download and share the link from the 17 April -https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/veggierun/id1339059186?mt=8

Why do we need to promote Healthy Lunches?
Recent evidence suggests that only 1% of packed lunches are healthy!

We hope from children playing the game they are able to identify the difference between healthy and unhealthy foods.

What can they win?
Each term Havering Council will reward the top performing primary, junior, Infant schools and pupils with the following prizes.
Schools
