Kiltealy School
This week Ms Byrne’s Junior and Senior Infants are learning all about healthy lifestyles.
In SPHE we examined the food pyramid, we learned that getting plenty of sleep and exercise also helps us to stay healthy.
Today in Science, we had great fun making delicious healthy smoothies. We made three different flavours , banana, strawberry and banana, strawberry and raspberry.
Not only did we cover being healthy as part of Science and SPHE, but we also covered ” Procedural Writing” in the English curriculum. Our steps were as follows:
1. Put the fruit in the blender.
2. Add milk and yogurt.
3. Turn on the blender.
4. Pour smoothie into a glass and enjoy 😉
Have a look at some of our pictures..

Food Dudes is a programme designed to encourage children to eat more fruit and vegetables both in school and at home.
This programme is commencing with the junior classes on Thursday 26th February. Junior & Senior Infants and first & second class will receive one portion of a different fruit and one portion of a different vegetable every day for 16 days 926th February to 23rd March. If the children taste each of these they will receive a reward. After the 16 days, children are encouraged to continue to eat fruit and vegetables for their breaks & lunch. If they do so they will receive a certificate after a certain amount of days. We hope this programme will be effective in helping children make healthy choices.
3rd – 6th class are also taking part in Food Dudes. They are encouraged to eat more fruit and vegetables as past of their daily diet and will also have “fruit & vegetable tasting days” on the 5th, 10th, 13th & 20th of March.
