The Food Dudes programme is an evidence based healthy eating programme.  It aims to encourage children to eat more fruit and vegetables.  This week the children were given the opportunity to taste a fruit and vegetable each day that was delivered fresh each morning from the Food Dudes team.  The menu for the week was as follows:

Monday: banana and carrot

Tuesday: blueberries and peppers

Wednesday: apple and cucumber

Thursday: mandarins and tomatoes

Friday: apple, blueberries, courgettes and carrots

The children worked really well on tasting the food and loved watching the videos and completing the assigned activity each day. One of the activities for the Junior Room was to plant cress seeds.  We will observing the pots very closely over the next few days for signs of growth🪴

On Friday, all classes came together and were given the opportunity to taste a variety of fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, melon, pear, pineapple, strawberries, grapes, blackberries, raspberries, peppers, cucumber and cherry tomatoes We all had a lovely time and the children really enjoyed ‘tasting the rainbow’🌈

Finally, a huge thank you to the Student Council who were a fantastic help all week.  Keep up the healthy eating 🥕🍊🍉🍇
