Healthy Packed Lunches
Thank you to everyone who completed the Parent Questionnaire at our induction day in the summer. In response to your interest in healthy eating we decided to dedicate a section of the website to provide helpful links and lunchbox ideas.
Eating a varied diet and drinking plenty of water can help children to learn by improving concentration and increasing energy levels. We are keen to provide parents and carers with guidance and ideas about how to create nutritious and healthy lunchboxes, which are also packed with food that children will want to eat.

Please remember that we encourage children to drink water throughout the day, as this keeps them better hydrated and able to concentrate. Encourage your children to bring their water bottles into school, which they can refill after lunch and PE.

Food Revolution Day - 17th May 2013
We joined in with the Jamie Oliver campaign to raise awareness about better food education on Food Revolution Day on Friday 17th May. This is a global day of action for people to make a stand for good food and essential cooking skills.
The children in Year 2 have been busy creating three of their own special fruit smoothie recipes and prepared these delicious drinks for a special playtime treat on Friday.
We are very grateful for the support of Tesco, Morrisons and NIsa (Buckingham Road) for their generous contribution towards our ingredients.
Our recipes are below. Click the thumbnail to see a bigger image. Each 'batch' will make around 20 drinks!
