For this year's Healthy Eating month we have enjoyed a focus on creating a healthy balance in our lunches, dinners and lifestyle, based on the 'Eatwell Guide'. The food groups are divided appropriately in a circle or plate shape giving young and old an instant easy guide to what foods we strive to eat more of, as well as those which need to be considered occasional instead of daily fare.
Every class enjoyed lessons and games and learned lots about fruit, vegetables, healthy carbohydrates, dairy products and alternatives. The large hall display showed how oils and spreads are to be used sparingly and that foods and drinks high in fat and sugar are not necessarily part of daily intake.
We hope a healthy and helpful message has spread through the school community and we all got some new lunch ideas in the leaflet that went home for each child. Eat well everyone!
