Every day in Reception year we have snack time. The children have a choice of varied fruit and vegetables; carrots, tomatoes, baby cucumber, apples, pears, oranges. This does vary throughout the year and sometimes the children have sugar snap peas and also strawberries. It is a social time for the children where they also have a drink of water (supplied in water bottles provided by the school) and also milk. The children are encouraged to use their good manners by saying please, thank you and no thank you. During this time we discuss the need for healthy eating, the need for exercise and also good hygiene. Fruit and water is available to the children throughout their learning times. Water bottles are sent home on a Friday to be cleaned, the children are encouraged to fill these independently. Water bottles need to be returned on a Monday morning. Please do not send squash, juice or fizzy drinks in with your child. Your child has a choice of water or squash at lunch times.
Can your child tell you why they need to wash their hands before eating? What is their favourite fruit or vegetable?
