Dear parents/carers,
At High Hazels Academy we encourage children to eat healthily. This includes eating healthy snacks and meals at school and at home.
Can we remind parents that a packed lunch should include:
- A starchy carbohydrate food such as bread, pasta, rice, couscous
- A portion of fruit
- A portion of vegetables
- A dairy (or soya alternative) food such as cheese, milk, yoghurt
- A protein food such as a chicken, turkey, mince, fish, beans, chickpeas, eggs
- Water or milk
Also please remember to cut grapes in halves to avoid choking hazards!
The following are not to be included in packed lunches:
- Chocolate, chocolate spread, chocolate pancakes, chocolate brioche or chocolate croissants
- Biscuits or cereal bars
- Cakes or pastries
- Sweets
- Crisps, baked crisps, mini cheddars
- Fizzy or sugary drinks such as Ribena, Capri Sun, vitamin flavoured water, Fruit Shoot, fruit
- juice
- Smoothies
Many thanks
FS2 Team
