At Leaps & Bounds we take kids nutrition very seriously.

In order to encourage children to talk about food, particularly fruit and vegetables, we have devised a number of games and worksheets.

During 2009 we have taken nutrition a little further!

Each of the classes for the 3 to 5 age group have planted sunflowers, tomatoes and lettuce this year! 

The children love getting their hands dirty, and of course they get to take their "salad"pots home!

I am delighted to have received numerous photos from the children showing how their plants are going.

In conjunction with the planting projects, parents are given a fact sheet on the benefits of the particular salad item. This encourages discussion at home regarding healthy food choices.

This is a recent picture of some of the Kinder Circuit group with their lettuce plants!
