Healthy Eating Heros

Mr Lord has presented a special assembly to Year 3 and 4 to learn about healthy eating. Pupils learned about making smart food choices to help them stay energised and focused throughout a busy school day, packed with learning, sport, and play. Mr Lord highlighted the importance of having a snack at break time and encouraged pupils to speak to our friendly kitchen team if they would like to try a new food without committing to a full portion, smaller samples are always available.

The children explored macronutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, as well as micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. They discussed the benefits of eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, which are always available at snack and lunch times through our generous salad bar, fresh fruit selection, and cooked vegetable options. Pupils were encouraged to build a colourful plate of food to help fuel their day.
