We should aim to eat these different types of food to keep us healthy:

eating too much unhealthy food could make us overweight and not feel great.

Cakes and

sweets

Chocolate

Chips and

crisps

So lots of healthy foods and exercise is the key to staying

fit and well when you are older.

What do you think is most important in a healthy snack?

Healthy snacks are:

• Low in sugar

- Low in salt

- Low in fat

- Packed with vitamins and minerals to keep us fit and well.

What healthy snacks do we have at play time and why do

we need to eat them?

Our School Council want to spread the message that healthy snacks at playtime will help us stay fit and well, when we grow up and help us to fight off germs and illness.

They will also give us long lasting energy in class. If we had sugary and fatty snacks, we would soon feel hungry again and not be able to learn or concentrate as well.
