Dear Parents

I am writing to give you further information about our Healthy Eating Week which is taking place week beginning 11th January. As well as launching our new Healthy Snack Policy we will also be running a range of activities for all year groups, please see below for details.

1. Healthy Snack Cafe will be held on Wednesday 13th January. All children will be given the opportunity to visit the cafe and buy a snack. All snacks will be 10p each – please send money to school with your that day if you would like them to buy a snack.

2. Design a healthy sandwich competition. Children will be given time in class to design their sandwich, a prize will be awarded for the best design in KS1 and KS2.

3. Cooking activities – all classes will be doing some sort of cooking/food preparation activity during Healthy Eating week.

4. Food tasting. Children will be given the opportunity to taste different foods and to give their thoughts and opinions on these.

5. Free snacks for all children.

If your child has a food allergy which we need to consider when tasting food please fill in the tear off slip below and return to your child’s class teacher by no later than Friday 8th January so that they are aware of this.

After looking at the results from the parent questionnaire I have decided not to run a parent workshop due to lack of interest. I will, however be sending out regular information sheets with recipe ideas and tips as many parents seemed interested in receiving this. If you do feel that a parent workshop/INSET training session would be valuable please feel in the section on the tear off slip and return to school as soon as possible.

Many thanks again for your support in this.

Best wishes
