The Summer Wellness Sessions by Nesquik Plus and Playmobil Fun Park started off successfully last week, when around 95 children were present on the first day of the sessions. This educational initiative brings children a unique wellness programme for the summer season.

The Summer Wellness Sessions are being held twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays. The first 30-minute session starts at 10.15am and the second at 11am. The sessions are being conducted by Nestlé Malta’s consultant nutritionist and consultant psychologist. The sessions will come to an end on 12 September.

On arrival at the Playmobil Fun Park, the children are given a set of animated educational handouts for them to follow during the session and to take home. The first 15 minutes are nutritionally based, with Nestlé Malta’s consultant nutritionist playing an educational game about nutrition to explain the different food groups as well as the concept of portion size.

The second 15 minutes will be handled by Nestlé’s consultant psychologist. During her session, she will be exploring the children’s attitude towards exercise with the aim of teaching them about the benefits of physical activity and to help them understand their personal barriers to exercise and motivate them to join in outdoor activities.
