Laya Super Troopers encourages children and families to integrate healthy activities into their daily lives.

21 schools across the Shannonside Northern Sound region are among 600 that are taking part in the latest edition of the healthy homework programme.

Endorsed by Healthy Ireland, the Laya Super Troopers programme has benefitted more than one million children since its launch in 2014.

New research reveals only four in ten children are getting adequate levels of physical activity per day, and five percent of children aged 9 to 12 are not exercising on a daily basis.

In addition to this, over three quarters of parents say they would like to see more of their child's current homework being focused on learning about nutrition and physical and mental wellbeing.

Laya Super Troopers encourages children and families to integrate healthy activities into their daily lives and provides families with fun activities and advice on how to promote a healthier lifestyle for all. 

The list of the local schools taking part are as follows.
