This morning our school nurse, Naomi Choudhury, attended our Coffee Morning to introduce herself to parents, explain her role and then talk with us about healthy eating. If you would like to speak to Naomi or to refer your child to her please let Miss Coleman and Mrs Gardner Sharp know. Although Naomi is not in school every day, we have a close relationship and there are some pupils with whom she has regular meetings.

As the focus of the session was healthy eating, Naomi shared The Eatwell Guide which shows how much of what we eat overall should come from each food group to achieve a healthy, balanced diet. She explained that you do not need to achieve this balance with every meal but should try to get the balance right over a day or even a week. This guide generated much discussion and sharing of good practice. If you want to find our more please look at the NHS website https://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Goodfood/Pages/the-eatwell-guide.aspx
This website includes an interactive version of the Eatwell Guide, as well as more information about the different food groups. You can also find out more by reading this booklet: Eatwell Guide Booklet or by downloading Change4Life Be Food Smart app which shows you how much sugar, saturated fat and salt is really inside your food and drink.
