GLOS Educatief Lesson Packages Groep 7 Healthy Lifestyle at School

The Apentrots educational program has started again

Published Mar 05, 2026

During the week of 2 to 6 March 2026, the Apentrots educational program began in Apeldoorn. Almost 900 pupils from Year 6 at primary schools in Apeldoorn are immersing themselves in the lifestyle of monkeys – and what we can learn from it. In three interactive lessons, they discover everything about healthy eating, exercise and behaviour.

The Apentrots educational program has started again

The program consists of:

Two guest lessons from CJG Apeldoorn and Sportservice Apeldoorn
A workbook full of interactive assignments
A final lesson at Apenheul, where guides show how monkeys put their healthy lifestyle into practice

Sleep

This year, teachers can also choose to supplement the program with a lesson about sleep, an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

The Apentrots Traveling Trophy

This year, all classes once again have a chance to win the Apentrots Traveling Trophy. During the nutrition lesson, pupils take a quiz: how healthy is your lifestyle? At the end of the program, they repeat the quiz and can submit their answers. Last year, PCBO De Sjofar won. Which school will take over the beautiful trophy from them this year and win the fantastic prize for the entire class?

Our Food Week

From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
