Healthy Snacks and Drinks
All children in Saplings, Chestnut and Holly classes are given a piece of fruit as part of the Government's School Fruit Scheme.
The children may also bring in a healthy snack for playtime. They may bring in a piece of fruit or vegetable in a named snack pot. Crisps, sweets and chocolate biscuits are not allowed.
The children are also able to have milk each day; it is free for the under-fives. Once your child reaches the age of 5 you again can pay for them to continue to have the school milk as a healthy drink during the school day. You will need to contact Cool Milk.
The children should all have a named water bottle in the classroom. These are available to purchase from the school office. They need to be taken home to be washed daily.
