Eat Smart Week in Laghey

Eat Smart Week with the Lunch Bunch will take place in school next week from Monday 29th September to Friday 3rd October inclusive. This theme week has been organised by EA Catering and the Food in Schools co-ordinator. This initiative will introduce children to new foods and teach them about the importance of a nutritious diet and sustainable eating.

Eat Smart Week will focus on a different food or topic each day based on the Eatwell Guide, and the four main groups associated with it.

Monday - Fruit and Veg

Tuesday - Carbohydrates

Wednesday - Protein

Thursday - Dairy

Friday will focus on sustainable eating

Each day, a main course and a taster pot will be served associated with that day's topic. Kitchens will still serve the main course from the menu, so there will be a choice for the children.
