Food Dudes

We are starting the Food Dudes programme this week at school. This programme, developed by The Food and Activity Research Unit at Bangor University Wales, encourages children to eat more fruit and vegetables in school and at home. There are two phases involved in the programme. The first phase involves children tasting different fruit and vegetables in school whilst watching a Food Dudes dvd. The second phase extends the home element by encouraging children to bring their own fruit and vegetables to school in special Food Dudes containers. Classroom stickers, rewards and certificates are given upon reaching goals.
