Please can I remind parents to be aware of our Healthy Eating Policy which can be found on the Website and our desire to promote healthy snacks at breaktimes. The following section comes from our policy.
Healthy Break Time Snacks
To promote a healthy lifestyle we encourage the children to have a healthy snack at break time (10.30am) each day. A healthy snack will help to keep hunger pangs at bay till lunchtime and aid concentration in class!
What do we mean by a healthy break time snack?
• Any fresh fruit e.g. apple, grapes, strawberries, tomatoes
• Natural dried fruit e.g. raisons, sultanas, bananas
• Any raw or cooked vegetable e.g. celery or carrot
• Plain bread e.g. breadsticks, soda bread, cracker
What does not constitute a healthy snack?
• Flapjacks or granola bars
• Cereal bars
• Fruit covered in chocolate
• Fruit winders
• Tinned fruit
• Yogurts
• Cakes and biscuits
• Crisps
• Croissants
Parents are requested to send in snacks that comply with this healthy eating policy.
Thank you for your support in this area.
