Snack Time in Foundation Class

Snack Time Every Friday Primary 1 and 2 participate in a Healthy Snacktime. This is incorporated into their playtime. Snacktime has many advantages: *Health and hygiene is of high importance – children must wash their hands before they handle the food. *A range of healthy foods are made available to the children, e.g. a variety of breads, fruits, cereals and spreads – some of which the children have never tasted before! Sometimes the children make an exotic fruit salad. The children become more independent – they serve themselves the food, pour their drink, wash and dry their own dishes and then set the table for the person coming behind them. *Finally the children are encouraged to self-register to show that they have had their snack. This makes it more manageable for the adults, who can see at a glance who still needs to attend.
