Healthy Eating Week took place in our school from Monday 10th to Friday 14th October and was continued to the Halloween break. Food and healthy Eating was the theme for the week throughout all the classes in the school and it was integrated in many subjects e.g. Physical Education, Social and Personal Health Education etc.
The children learned about healthy eating, the food pyramid and suitable foods for the school lunchbox and the importance of eating healthily. A healthy lunchbox should help to improve the child’s attention, behaviour and learning throughout the day and into the afternoon.
We enlisted the help of the children during these weeks to update and review the schools Healthy Eating Policy. This Healthy Eating Policy has been implemented in the school, November 2011.
