Each Tuesday we run Chicken Club. This gives students the opportunity to feed the chickens by filling up the chickens' water and food containers. Students have also cleaned out the coop and added new bedding for the chickens to lay their eggs. They are able to collect the eggs and feed them fresh vegetables and dehydrated worms.
The students have loved holding the chickens and giving them a pat and taking care of them.
Nude Food Tuesdays at EVPS.
WHAT IS NUDE FOOD LUNCH BOX?
A “nude” food lunch is one that has no plastic wrappers or rubbish that goes to landfill. Use re-useable snap lock bags or re-useable containers to build a healthy and rubbish-free lunch box.
LUNCH BOX IDEAS
· Involve the children
· Pack the night before
· Keep costs down – don’t buy snack sized packages
· Vary fillings of sandwiches
· Remind children to put any uneaten food back into lunch boxes
· Finger food – cut into bite sized pieces
· Pre-cut fruit and vegetables and pop them in airtight containers in the fridge the night before
· Bake in bulk (when you have some spare time) and freeze savoury and sweet muffins, scrolls, pikelets, and scones for quick lunchbox snacks
· Put child’s snack and lunch in a container
· We recommend you label all your child’s containers in case it gets lost
· Use a reusable cloth lunch bag for lunch orders
