Term 2 Meeting - Thursday 9th December 2021
Following on from our first meeting, the focus to our meeting was to draft out a letter to our school community regarding 'healthy packed lunches'. As a group, we had a discussion surrounding the contents of our lunchboxes and what we need to include in them so that they are healthy. We looked at a healthy eating plate and discussed the food groups that we should have in our packed lunches. The Healthy Eating Council felt that some lunchboxes are a bit unhealthy and so they wanted to write to the children's parents reminding them of the importance of a balanced lunch. I then typed the children's ideas into a draft letter to be checked and signed off.

Term 1 Meeting - 14th October 2021
I met with all the newly appointed Healthy School Representatives to talk about their role for the year. I explained that our job is to consider and look after the healthiness of the school. This comprises of us looking into fitness and exercise and healthy eating.
I then asked the committee for aims and ideas for the year ahead and here are a few of their suggestions.
- Smoothie bike workshop
- Daily exercise as a class
- Classes to take part in 1 minute exercise challenges a week
- Healthy Schools Council to write and send letters to the parents about ensuring healthy packed lunches.
- New sports workshops for each class eg trampolining/archery
- A day of planting seeds for fruit and vegetables which each class will plant, look after and harvest.
- Healthy shop selling healthy fruit and vegetable snacks
- A healthy eating week
All of the suggestions were well thought out and I will look forward to whittling them down to some focus areas for the school year.
