Healthy Eating

Starlings and Sparrows listened well to a talk today about eating healthily. Clare from Tesco s came in and carried out an assembly all about hidden sugars  as part of the farm to fork programme. The children looked at lots of different fruit and vegetables and could name a wide selection. We all had a look at the food plate to see which food groups we should eat lots of. Then we learnt about which foods contained hidden sugars. A small bottle of coke containing 11 sugar cubes of sugar!! Our recommended intake is no more than 6 cubes a day. The children came home with leaflets and some ideas to swop sugary foods with healthier alternatives. The recipes look very yummy!
