Packed Lunch Policy

The children of St Faiths have voted and made up guidelines for a healthy packed lunch. A healthy packed lunch should help improve your child’s attention, behaviour and learning.

The children have used a traffic light system to sort food.

Green foods - You can have as many as you like every day!

Fruit

Vegetables

Fish 

Yoghurt 

Fruit Juice

Salad 

Chicken

Fromage Frais

Dried Fruit (such as raisins)

Amber Foods - Two from this group each day.

Bread 

Bagels

Pasta

Rice

Eggs

Cake

Cereal bars

Chocolate Spread

Crisps

Cheese Strings

Desserts (including yoghurt based ones where you add sweets or chocolate)

The following items the children have decided SHOULD NOT be in Packed Lunches:

Chocolate 

Pepperami

Fizzy Drinks 

Sweets

Lunchables 

Sausage Rolls

Fruit Winders

Chocolate drinks

Juice based drinks such as Fruit shoots (many so called juice drinks are really only juice flavoured sugary water)

We now leave you with some ideas for Healthy Sandwiches:

- Egg and tomato

- Humous and celery

- Cottage cheese and pineapple

In addition to all this, there are Packed Lunch Targets each week which are set and checked at lunch time by our lovely Teaching Assistants.

We hope the above was informative. If you've got any questions, just leave us a message and we'll try to answer them here.

Packed Lunches and Healthy Eating

Don't forget to leave a comment. It would be nice to hear from our readers! :)

A Healthy and Balanced Diet

Last Thursday we were lucky to have a Theatre Company come to our school to talk to us about Balanced Diets and Healthy Lifestyles.

We have taken pictures and added some comments to them. Take a look at our video and let us know what you thought of it!

Anton, Eve, Natalia and Leshay participated in the play by doing some exercise. Here they are in action:

Remember... Stay Healthy!
