Our school was delighted to participate for the fourth year in a row in the Food Dudes programme. Food Dudes is an evidence-based healthy eating programme, designed to encourage children to eat more fruit and vegetables.
Fresh fruit and vegetables were delivered to the school each morning and the Green Schools Committee shared them out with all the classes daily. The children had the opportunity to taste and eat blueberries, bananas, cucumbers, apples, carrots, courgettes and peppers.
Each day the children also had the opportunity to watch a clip on the Food Dudes website that promoted a healthy lifestyle. Each child received a Healthy Eating Passport to bring home and Junior Infants received a Food Dudes lunchbox.
