At Provo Primary we always encourage healthy eating as an important part of children’s education and we are grateful to Temika Handfield for coming into the school to highlight and inform us on a variety of\u00c2\u00a0 healthy eating topics.\u00c2\u00a0 Temika is a former parent of the school who is now studying food and nutrition at the Florida International University in Miami.\u00c2\u00a0 As a part of her studies, she is researching parent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s perceptions of obesity in the Turks and Caicos Islands.\u00c2\u00a0 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to thank everyone who supported her today by taking the time to complete her questionnaire.\u00c2\u00a0 We wish Temika all the best with her studies and future success.<\/p>\n

A topic often raised by parents is… ‘Where can we find ideas for exciting and easy-to-prepare healthy snacks and lunches?’\u00c2\u00a0 Our Preschool class is addressing this question by compiling a cook book of healthy recipes that they enjoy. We look forward to the publication of this in the near future and hope that their favourite healthy choices become yours, too.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, a couple of great websites on healthy eating I can recommend are:\u00c2\u00a0 Kids health<\/a> by Nemours, one of the largest nonprofit organizations devoted to children’s health and Children’s Lunchboxes<\/a>, a great BBC site with lots of ideas to try.\u00c2\u00a0 Finally here are a few interactive games<\/a> about healthy eating that your children might enjoy playing from the UK\u00c2\u00a0 Food Standards Agency. \u00c2\u00a0 Happy healthy eating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
