This week is Fruit and Veg week and we are asking all children and parents to participate. Research shows that fruit and vegetable consumption is lower in primary aged children than any other group.
At our school we will be:
- increasing awareness of the need to eat more fruit and vegetables
- increase positive perceptions of fruit and vegetables
- incorporating fruit and vegetable themes into cross curriculum plans and school activities
Marks point PS have joined with Freshpoint Fruit Markets Swansea toward ensuring all students have the opportunity to eat FRESH FRUIT and VEGETABLES at school. Freshpoint in conjunction with the Sydney Regional Markets have been supplying 3 boxes of fruit each week for the children to eat.
This week some families have taken up the offer to purchase fruit baskets at cost price from Freshpoint.
