We are grateful for OneLife Suffolk who came into school yesterday to deliver a parent session on ‘BRAIN & BODY FUEL’, i.e. healthy eating for your
child (& family).The session covered the best foods to help boost children at breakfast for a day at school, and foods to help to improve their concentration and learning through the day, along with healthy lunchbox ideas. Parents also shared their own helpful hints and tips with each other.
Those who came along were given handouts, a few of which have been scanned on the links below:

Remember the Importance of a Healthy Filling Breakfast
Don't forget how important it is for your child to have a good and filling breakfast to help them make the most of their school day. They need to have foods that will sustain their energy levels and boost their brain for learning.
It's important to avoid high sugar breakfasts which will give an instant lift but then will see them flagging shortly after.
