Food Dudes

Next week Food Dudes come to Talbot Senior School for two “Taster Days”. Children will get a chance to taste lots of Fruit and Vegetables.

Why?

Children discover the intrinsically rewarding properties of fruit and vegetables and develop a liking for them
The programme supports the school culture in strongly encouraging the eating of fruit and vegetables
Children come to see themselves as fruit and vegetable eaters and are guided by this self concept

Enjoy the taster days, two next week and two after mid-term break.
