Dear Parents/Guardians,
This year the children from Braidside Primary and Nursery School will be participating in the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) Healthy Eating Week. This will start on Monday the 14th June. Each day the children will participate in one of the elements suggested by the British Nutrition Foundation. On Monday, the theme is 'to eat a healthy breakfast'. On Monday morning all the children at Braidside will be provided with a healthy breakfast in their classroom! This will be organised by their class teacher. Please keep an eye on teams/see-saw for any updates from your child's teacher.
Tuesday, 15th June, we are encouraging each child to eat 5 pieces of fruit or vegetables throughout the day. To do this we are asking that parents provide a piece of fruit or some vegetables for their child’s healthy snack. If possible, it would be great if they could also have some fruit or vegetables for their lunch too.
Wednesday, 16th June, we are asking that each child brings water to school to drink throughout the day. They can still have their usual favourite drink at lunch time.
Thursday, 17th June will be ‘Get Active Day’. On Thursday your child should come to school dressed in their PE kit. On Thursday, the pupils in KS2 will be participating in the Dairy Council Programme.
Friday, 18th June will be ‘Try something New’ day. Again, please keep an eye on teams/see-saw for more information for your child’s class.
I have uploaded a letter about the British Nutrition Foundations for you to read. Thank- you for your co-operation
Mrs Kim McLaughlin
KS2 Curriculum Coordinator.
