HEALTHY SCHOOL

 

WE HAVE ACHIEVED HEALTHY SCHOOL STATUS

 

It is now official - We have Healthy School Status.

GALLOWAYS
Many thanks to Galloways for donating a reusable birthday cake to be used during KS1 class assemblies to celebrate birthdays. Children are encouraged to bring birthday treats in other than sweets or cakes.


DESIGN A HEALTHY LUNCHBOX COMPETITION
All children throughout schools in Wigan were given the chance to enter this competition in conjunction with Wigan & Leigh Health Authority. The design had to incorporate all 6 steps to creating a healthy lunchbox. Three entries were chosen from our school to be entered in the final - Olivia's in Y4, Leah's and Lana's in Y5.

One of the overall winners was from our School - Leah in Year 5 - all the final winning entries will be put on the back of the healthy lunchbox menus which will be distributed throughout school in the near future.

OPEN EVENING

Many parents attended and were given the opportunity to ask searching questions and discuss our new healthy School Policy. This is available on request. The policy demonstrates our commitment to improving the Health of Children - a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. Some of the key points in our policy are:
Ï We prefer children not to bring fizzy drinks in their lunchbox
Ï We would prefer children to drink fruit juice or water
Ï We prefer children not to bring sweets & chocolate in the lunchbox
Ï We would prefer children to bring fruit, yoghurts, wafer biscuits
Ï We prefer that children do not bring into school sweets to celebrate their birthday but instead explore other items, eg sharing a story/poem, giving stickers, a small game for class, a skipping rope for breaktime etc.

A TASTE OF ITALY

 

Our kitchen provides healthy school meals and in order to share this we are organising special 'theme meals' in the Spring and Summer terms

INDIA
Italian Day: In October, our cook provided an Indian meal for any child wishing to buy a school dinner on this day. School dinners cost £1.95, please see Mrs Cooke.

We made flags, played music and everyone enjoyed their lunch. We look forward to more of these events during the summer.
