Fanore National School - News

Here in Fanore N.S we place a huge emphasis on the importance of healthy eating throughout our time at school and at home.

This year both teachers put in place the excellent Food Dudes program which allowed all the children in the school to sample and enjoy a variety of foods over a number of weeks.

The healthy food samples were provided to the children and they received rewards for trying the various fruit and vegetables for e.g carrots, cucumber, peas, peppers etc.

We have seen the positive impact this program has had on the lunch boxes of the children and we would encourage all parents to continue to fill those lunch boxes with healthy fruit and veg.

We went blackberry picking. Children worked in groups to fill their containers.

Thereafter, rhubarb & apples was picked from our school garden to use in the crumble.

On Friday, the children in 5th and 6th class got to work on the crumble. Children chopped the rhubarb and apples. The blackberries were washed and sorted through. Children weighed out the ingredients as per recipe. The fruit was stewed and the crumble was made.

An easy, simple dish using produce from our garden and nearby ditches.
