Dear parents,
From September 5th, Newton Hui Xin campus introduced fresh fruits and vegetable coolers in all class-rooms.
The cooler has been a big success from the first day and through the principle of serving "finger snacks" of apple slices, cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes children have developed a fantastic routine of cleaning hands, selecting the fruit of choice, asking teacher and enjoying it directly, without any need for a bib in pre-nursery even.
Children and adults alike often experience mid-meal cravings for something fresh, by not tending to this hunger it can affect our mood, which is more true in the case of young children. The coolers in each class-room provide students with an option of enjoying water time together with a small healthy snack or if the breakfast / lunch / snack leaves a little extra room, children can ask teachers for more fruits or veggies, just as at home.
With the aim of creating the most happy environment possible, we do not only focus on activities and play-equipment, but very much on the children's nutrition and general awareness of choices.
The new blue coolers with fruits and vegetables is another exercise in independent choice making, with a healthy and nutritious benefit.
Every class-room at Hui Xin campus has a cooler full of delicious healthy snacks.
The ice-packs are interesting and cool to the touch. They help us keep the snacks fresh.
Before eating fruits and veggies with our fingers, we have to wash very well.
After washing hands children can choose what kind of fruit they like to eat.
Today Ms. Shirkey from PN-205 is serving apples and cherry tomatoes.
Fruits are delicious and yummy!
One apple a day keeps the doctor away. Two apples a day keeps two doctors away!
Children enjoy fruit time and feel motivated to communicate their pick. We can try all!
The snack cooler is like a treasure trove, where children can find new fruits/veggies.
