Healthy Options

In February 07 we undertook a lunch box survey which gave some very interesting results. From the data we decided to focus on healthy snack alternatives to crisps and chocolate biscuits together with encouraging children to drink more water.

Mrs Grounds, Mrs Stephens and Mrs Bowles prepared a feast of fresh fruit, vegtables, dips and dried fruit for every class to have a tasting session.
The aim was for the children to complete a tasting form and the data used to produce the schools Top 10 Healthy Snacks.

Two children from Reception Class and Class 3 ready to choose their favourite snack!

Class 1 pupils enjoying choosing a little bit of every food on offer.

A Class 4 pupil completing his tasting form and including any comments as to why he liked or disliked the food being tasted.
Some of the comments:-
"Bananas - the best fruit ever made!"
"Carrot - it catches my taste buds."
"Low fat greek yoghurt- it was delicious and creamy"

Carrots proved to be very popular with this Class R pupil.
