Food nutritionists from Catering Leeds, our school dinner provider, visited us today as part of health week. Using the eat well plate, we sorted ingredients from some of our school dinner meals. We also learnt about the importance of eating the right amount of different types of foods and looked at some healthy snack alternatives.
It was great to hear the visitors were impressed by the children’s prior knowledge of 5 a day and the eat well plate.
Why not try this at home? Ask your child to tell you which part of your meal goes in the different sections of the eat well plate (look out for copies of the eat well plate to be sent home this week).
