We are currently in the middle of Fruit and Veg Month 2013 , which runs from 26th of August 20th September 2013.
I would like to take this opportunity to promote the healthy eating of vegetables that we do daily at John Colet School. I write these blogs to help teach students and their families about the benefits of fruits, vegetables and their nutritional value in everyday living.
Our aim is to get children excited about eating these food groups.

We try variations on a theme to see if there is something we can get them to love, eat and enjoy. A great example of this is the current nacho recipe that took an entire year to perfect to the students exacting tastes and has now become one of their favourites.
It seems that persistence pays, so try something different and add in more vegetables and fruits to every meal. The rewards are well worth it!

Eat well
