Healthy Eating
Over the past year we have communicated the importance of healthy eating on both body and mind. This is never more true than in school where healthy snack and frequent drinking of water can have a huge impact on a pupil’s concentration and focus as well as general wellbeing.
In school, we are focussing on our Key stage 2 pupils- Many pupils in Early Years and Year 1 and 2 are making the right choices as to what they have for snack. It is therefore concerning to see many crisp, chocolate bar and sweet snack wrappers in the bin at the end of Key stage 2 breaktimes.
Here on the website we have placed information leaflets to explain healthy eating and snacks (see below or policy page) and will spend some time talking this through with the pupils over the next half term. Can I ask that when possible you do the same at home (the information is downloadable from the web).
Wherever possible could pupils come in with healthy lunchboxes and snacks (snacks should only be fruit or veg, whereas drink should be water or milk– please see the welsh assembly government leaflets for more detail), I truly believe it makes a difference in the classroom.
We will also do our bit. As well as educating the children in this – to become healthy and confident individuals. We will be making snack and bottled water available for 20p at morning break. If you and your child wish they can come and purchase something for that flat rate.
We believe that every little bit helps but this could make a huge difference. We will start making the snacks (initially apples and bananas) available from Monday 7th November.
Many thanks for your help and support.
