KEEPING MURRAYFIELD HEALTHY

healthy-kids

This session we will be encouraging all children to stay as healthy as possible and to make the right healthy choices.  We will be focusing on encouraging and promoting healthy eating across the school.  Here is how you can help your child:

*eat breakfast – remember we have a Breakfast Club Monday to Friday from 8.15am.  A Murrayfield breakfast includes toast with flora spread and/or jam, choice of low sugar cereal with milk, water or low sugar apple or orange fruit juice

*choose healthier snacks – fruit, low salt or sugar snacks, try to keep sweets and crisps to a minimum as these snacks tend to be low in nutrients and high calories

*drink water – we encourage all pupils to drink water during class time and have (non-fizzy) juice for lunch or morning break.

*grow your own – all classes have access to our school garden where a range of vegetables and fruits are grown.  Maybe you could try to grow some of your own in pots at home

*eat together – we encourage all pupils to socialise with their peers during their lunch.  Sitting eating a meal together is a great way of finding out about your child’s day

Please let us know if you have any tips on how to encourage children to make healthier food choices.  Perhaps you have a great packed lunch idea or healthy snack suggestions.  We would love to hear about your ideas.
