Residents of Latabær visit the Hafnarfjörður nursery school

The main purpose is to encourage exercise and a healthy diet. 

Two of the residents of Laabær, Solla Stirða and Halla Hrekkjusvín, have recently visited the nursery school in their sister town, Hafnarfjörður. The two ladies have entertained the children and staff with chat, song and dance, but the main purpose of the visit, as is always the case with the residents of Slobtown, is to encourage exercise and a healthy diet.

^{Solla Stirða and Halla Hrekkjusvín visited the Álfaberg nursery school earlier this month. As you can see, their arrival and entertainment caused great delight.} 

Latibær is a health town, similar to Hafnarfjörður. 

Latibær is a great health town, much like Hafnarfjörður, and in their entertainment, residents have certain points and messages as a guiding principle, which they present to children in a variety of engaging ways. These points and guiding principles align exceptionally well with the health policy and objectives of the healthy city, Hafnarfjörður.

• Encourage children to move by demonstrating, without telling them.  
• Encourage children to eat healthy food
• Have a fun activity that everyone can take part in and enjoy.
• Use fun and rhythmic music that makes it easy to move to.
• Leave the group feeling positive and cheerful after the visit. 
• Demonstrate the importance of being friends and doing things together.

Thank you to our friends at Latabæ for the health-promoting visits! 

Latibær received a grant from the Hafnarfjörður Town Council (in the council's second grant round of 2021) and from Fjarðarkaup to fulfil the dream of visiting all the nurseries in Hafnarfjörður with a health-promoting and inspiring get-together.
