Big Vegie Crunch
Last Thursday, Beginners and Primary School students were asked to bring vegetables for their regular morning Crunch’n’Sip time. This is an organised event by NSW Health to have students think on the benefits of healthy eating, all whilst attempting to break the record for the organised, simultaneous eating of vegetables.
Only 6% of Australian children eat enough vegetables! We were a part of the group that set the record in 2018 where over 50,000 students took part. At 10am, we munched on a range of vegetables as we took part in this annual event for the 5th time. Mr Robins and Stage 3 student, Lara Jones, took around vegetable platters for those that didn’t have any vegetables to munch. We were also able to give curious students the chance to try a vegetable or two that they hadn’t tried before. There was tomato, capsicum, celery, carrot, snowpeas, beans, and mushroom to choose from. Perhaps you could ask your child if they tried something new?
