Children Eat Them To Defeat Them!

Lately, the children at Dromore Primary School have enthusiastically been taking part in the #EatThemToDefeatThem programme.

This six week programme, as advertised on television, is to promote eating vegetables and to encourage the children to eat their five a day. A different vegetable is introduced each week and the kitchen staff at the school are delighted with the children response. They say they have noted the children’s enthusiasm and excitement for the programme and they have been keen to try vegetables that they had not tried before. The number of vegetables eaten has almost doubled!

Vegetables grown in school garden have even made an appearance! The children helped grow spring onions and peppers and these have been added to the menu and tasted as part of the school dinner.

Spot prizes and competitions help keep the momentum going!

Well done everyone!
