This week year 5 participated in the first of 6 food education work shops with Mrs Caplan.  They learned all about how much sugar is in everyday food and how to make informed decisions about their sugar intake.  They measured spoonfuls of sugar in Cola, ketchup and frosties and suffice to say they were all a little shocked at how much sugar these items contain.

We learned about how much sugar is recommened daily and also how to substitute some overly sugary snacks with some healthier alternatives.  We enjoyed tasting the alternatives to digestive biscuits even if some agreed it would be better with a nice cup of tea!
