5. Whole school support In their own words ….. Watching as the children pushed their boundaries and trying different activities/food and challenges which were out of their comfort zone. We provided a healthy breakfast for the children, encouraging them to try something new. The whole school and staff coming together for the picnic sharing the food made earlier in the day. … This makes the whole week worth while seeing a positive impact on students’ lives We really enjoyed the healthy eating fair where each class shared their healthy food they had made that week – all the children loved it! Encouraging the children to see the challenges as something they do not just in that week, but beyond that.
