Last year we were awarded the Food Dudes Plaque for completing the fist national 3-year cycle of Food Dudes: the European School Fruit & Vegetable Scheme. We are now completing our second 3-year cycle of Food Dudes. The breakfast club and the whole school took part in the Food Dudes Week and received the award for this year. For phase 1, pupils tasted a portion of fruit and a portion of vegetables. The fruit included apples, oranges, blueberries and bananas portions and the vegetables included carrots, cucumbers, mixed peppers and tomatoes portions. Pupils also watched a Food Dudes episode each day and received a passport to healthy eating & activity booklet. Junior infants received new lunchboxes. For phase 2, all pupils were encouraged to bring in and eat fruit and vegetables from home.
The Food Dudes were delighted that so many teachers and families were logging on to use the Fun at Home resources. You can find more resources for Food Dudes at home at: https://www.fooddudes.ie/
