At Camphill PS we encourage children to adopt and sustain healthy eating patterns from an early age. Our pupils will be encouraged to have only a healthy snack (fruit, vegetables, bread, water and milk) at break time. It can often be difficult to encourage children to eat healthily, especially if their friends are seen to be having more tempting snacks. By supporting a healthy break we actively encourage our pupils to eat a healthy snack at break time.
Our children will be encouraged to have only the following foods and drink at break time:
- Milk or water
- Any fruit or vegetables (dried fruit will be allowed)
- Cheese
- Any bread product from the following list: Wholemeal, granary or white bread. Examples: wheaten bread, bagel, baguette, soda, potato bread, bread sticks, crumpets, pancakes (spread butter very thinly)
Please try to avoid sugary and high fat foods and spreads (e.g. jam, marmalade, honey or chocolate spread) and cereal bars (e.g. Coco Pops, Frosties and Rice Krispie bars). Remember that nut based spreads (eg Nutella) are not permitted in school due to some children having nut allergies.
Children in P3 - P7 are able to purchase healthy break choices from the school canteen.
Further information regarding healthy choices for break and lunch is provided below.
