Fruit to Suit!

20th May 2019

This year our Eco and School Council opened a Healthy Tuckshop to help promote healthy living and well-being. Our pupil voice groups have been working hard all year to deliver a positive message on the importance of being active and making better food choices to reduce sugar and salt intake. Our School Council welcomed suggestions made by their friends through our suggestion box and created a very tasty (but healthy!) menu:

  • Freshly prepared popcorn and raisin bag
  • Large/ small fruit Salad Cup (Blueberries/ strawberries/ apple/ oranges/ pears/ raisins/ banana/ carrot and celery sticks)
  • Celery, cucumber and Carrot Sticks with cottage cheese dip
  • Mixed Fruit and veggie smoothie
  • Fruit Slushie
  • Organic Rice Cakes topped with your choice of:
  • banana
  • apple slices
  • tomatoes
  • cucumber
  • cottage cheese
  • Natural yoghurt cup topped with fruit and honey (optional)
  • Fruit portions
  • Apples
  • Oranges
  • Pears
  • Bananas

Our Healthy Tuck was an enormous success and we appreciate the great support received from both parents and pupils. Our Eco and School Council will be using the profits made, an amazing £340, on gardening equipment for our school!
