Answer explanation

Sleep is really important in keeping us physically and mentally healthy.

When we sleep, our bodies and minds have the time to rest, recover and process all the things which have happened to us during the day.

Answer explanation

A healthy, balanced diet supports physical development, improves mood and keeps bugs at bay. Foods rich in vitamins and nutrients, like fruit, vegetables and whole grains, give children the fuel they need to develop both physically and mentally. Healthy eating also boosts our immune systems. This is especially beneficial in school where there's often a cough or a cold doing the rounds.
