A very simple approach to adopting healthy eating practices is to refer to & use the Food Pyramid as outlined below.
All pupils in the school participate in the 'Food Dudes' programme on a annual basis. 'Food Dudes' is designed to positively change children’s attitudes towards eating fresh fruit and vegetables, by combining three key elements: Repeated tasting, Rewards and Role modelling.
