A Healthy packed school lunch
is important to sustain your child during the course of a
full school day. Soft drinks, crisps and cookies do
not constitute a healthy lunch. Water must be part of
your child's lunch. |

A healthy
lifestyle is a long-term commitment. A diet is a fad and for
this reason we at AAESS Primary aim to educate children on
how to live a healthy lifestyle. An education which clearly
shows children that it is ok to eat treats such as chocolate
and crisps but in moderation along with a balanced diet.
We aim to:
Inform children about making healthy choices
Increase awareness on where food comes from
Make children aware of the positive aspects of living
non-sedentary lifestyles
We accept that it is a long-term commitment and investment
and along with your support we believe that we can make a
significant difference to every child’s life. To help you
assist us, we have provided a number of resources on this
webpage including relevant information provided by us and
the latest regional press releases.
Let us make this happen together!

Supportive Information
Healthy eating does not mean giving up all the things you
like.
Top Tips
Try to make good foods as exciting as possible by making
small changes to the way you prepare and present foods to
your children.
• Get creative, include a variety of foods
• Change the shape of the foods e.g. sandwiches, cheese,
vegetable snacks
• Use different types of carbohydrates to make meals and
snacks more interesting e.g. different breads / rolls,
wraps, muffins.
• Pack water in different containers to encourage your child
to drink enough water throughout the day.
• Try to plan / prepare lunchbox foods the night before to
save time in the mornings.

Snack Dash Game
The overall objective is to guide the main character from
start to finish in the shortest possible time, whilst
collecting as many points as possible along the way. In
order to fulfil the brief, one of the game's key features is
the inclusion of healthy and unhealthy food.
Collecting healthy foods (such as apples, water and carrots)
increases the player's score and protects the player from
danger. Conversely the consumption of unhealthy food (such
as crisps, sweets and fizzy drinks) cause the character
considerable instant weight gain. The player can still move
but is unable to move quickly enough to negotiate features
like the loop the loop or jump over the baddies. A little
bit of exercise is required to lose the excess pounds
(toggling the A and S keys will make the character perform a
number of press ups in order to lose that puppy fat),
however this all takes up precious time. The only way to get
a decent score and speed is by avoiding the fatty foods
altogether. |
