Healthy Schools
Ensuring that our children are happy and healthy is fundamental to the culture and ethos of Morley Victoria.
We are constantly developing ways to be a healthier school and ensure that our children understand the importance of eating well to ensure they are effective learners. We are reviewing this under the four areas of:
PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education)
Healthy Eating
Physical Education
Science
SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health)
Our very own MV tuck shop really promotes healthy eating by marketing the food as ‘superfood’. As a result. over time we have seen a massive increase in our children being inspired to try new foods.
We regularly get to try different foods from the tuckshop. Most of the food that we try are from Rethink Foods which have been saved from going to waste or Mrs. Moore very kindly orders it in for us.
Cucumber sticks and sugar snap peas are very popular on the tuck shop. It is sometimes difficult to keep up with the demand. The children’s school council voiced that children would like to see the addition of fresh peppers on the tuck shop.
Papaya is one of the superfoods that we were able to have a taste of on our tuck shop recently!
We received lemons and limes from Rethink Foods and encouraged the children to add them to their water bottles. This showed the children that there can be healthy alternatives to sugary juices.
We sometimes have food donated to our school via Asda or Rethink Food which we try to ensure the children are able to access for free from the tuck shop. Different recipes, foods and ideas are regularly seen at the tuck shop.
