Healthy Snacks for Juniors
Wed 10 May 2017As part of our Healthy Schools initiative and in order to promote a healthy lifestyle we encourage all children to bring a healthy snack to school to enjoy during morning break. Recently we have seen an increase in the amount of unhealthy snacks being consumed by the children e.g. chocolate, crisps etc. I understand that the key to a healthy lifestyle is a balanced diet with plenty of exercise, and I also agree that children should be given a ‘treat’ every so often (I certainly enjoy my treats!!)
However, at Minera we feel strongly about children having a healthy snack such as;
• Fruit
• Vegetables
• Breadsticks
• Crackers
• Scotch pancake
• Oat cakes
• Rice cakes
Please make every effort to ensure your child has a healthy snack in school.
Thank you for your continued support. -

Tomorrow - Friday 5th May
Thu 04 May 2017Year 2 to 6 will be sitting their first National Test tomorrow morning - The Reading Test. We all want our children to do well in any test, but it is important to recognise that there is no pass or fail in the national tests. The tests are just one piece of evidence about your child’s skills in reading and numeracy and the best way to prepare your child is to make sure that they are not worried or anxious.
You can find more advice and guidance on supporting your child from Education begins at home.
