Healthy Lunches / Lóin Sláintiúla

5/1/2023

Mar scoil chothaithe sláinte déanaimid tréaniarracht béim speisialta a chur ar shláinte. Molaimid lóin shlaintiuíla. Níl na hearraí seo ceadaithe: deochanna fizzy, criospaí, milséain, nó guma coganta. Tá cead rud deas amháin a thabhairt isteach ar an Aoine.

As a Health Promoting School we endeavour to place a special focus on healthy lunches. The following items are not allowed: fizzy drinks, crisps, sweets and chewing gum. We would encourage children to include some fruit and vegetables in their lunch and to cut back on sugary treats. We recommend restricting treats to perhaps one small fun-size treat on Friday.
