This month is ‘Snack-tember’, an initiative from the British Nutrition Foundation, which promotes healthier, more sustainable snacking for children and young people aged 5-16 years.
During Snack-tember, we will be encouraging pupils to:
- EXPLORE better snacking
- TRY new snacks
- MAKE their own healthy snacks
We want our young people to choose and make snacks that have:
- MORE vegetables and fruit
- MORE wholegrains, beans and pulses
- LESS saturated fat, salt and sugars
In food technology lessons, we will be running activities in lessons to help pupils learn more about healthier snacking, making some snack recipes and encouraging pupils to make healthier snack choices at breaktimes. We hope our parents/carers will get involved too! Take a look at the parent/carer snacking guide for more information about healthier snacking for your child.
