Pom Bear Walk To School Prize

Pom-Bear recognises the many benefits for kids of walking to school and offers the following safety advice for parents supporting Walk to School month.

Pom-Bear’s safe walking tips

1.     Teach your children the Green Cross Code and ensure they put this into practice every time they’re out walking. Children should not walk to school alone until they have learnt and confidently practice the code

2.     Where possible, walk on pavements, keeping well away from the curb, and always walk between your children and the traffic

3.     Make sure they can be seen at all times by using reflective and high visibility clothing. This is especially important at night and as the mornings and early evenings become darker during winter

4.     Hold their hands firmly at all times

5.     Teach them to pay attention when walking and never listen to personal stereo systems, use mobile phones or hand-held games

Pom-Bear is a fun teddy-bear shaped potato snack that children love. Deliciously crisp and light they melt in the mouth to give a unique taste. And, it’s one snack you won’t mind them having too. Each pack is made from the best quality potatoes and cooked with 100% Pure Sunflower oil making them an even lighter eat by further reducing saturated fat. Pom-Bear is also suitable for vegetarians and contains:

• No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives
• 25% less salt
• Now even less saturated fats. Pom-Bear Original potato snacks now have only 3% saturated fat
• Less than 100 calories per pack

The first National Family Week will run from May 25-31st to celebrate family life. With a bank holiday marking the first day of National Family Week, there’s no better time to spend the day outdoors together.

Flying a kite is great fun and provides a no (or low cost) day out for the whole family.

Pom-Bear’s top tips for flying your kite:

1.     Check that your kite is put together correctly, or it may not fly

2.     Stand with your back to the wind

3.     Hold your kite up by the bridle point and let the line out. If there is sufficient wind, your kite will go right up. Let the kite fly away from you a little, then pull in on the line as the kite points up so it will climb. Repeat this until your kite gains sufficient height to find a good steady wind

4.     If there is a light wind, ask a family member to help by taking the kite downwind and holding it up until you signal to let go

5.     If the kite sinks tail first, there might not be enough wind. If it comes down headfirst or spins, there might be too much wind. Adding tails to your kite helps it remain stable in stronger winds and looks great!
