What is Vegie Crunch?
Last Thursday, K-6 participated in the ‘Big Vegie Crunch’. ‘The Big Vegie Crunch’ is an attempt by NSW primary school students to break the record for the highest number of children eating vegetables simultaneously – and to get kids excited about vegetables! Students were asked to bring vegetables instead of fruit for their regular ‘crunch’n’sip’ time. Belmont Woolworths donated 4 platters of fresh vegetables that were offered to students who forgot, or wanted to try something new. There were many students trying new vegetables for the first time. Cherry tomatoes and cucumber (yes, technically both fruits), snow peas, capsicum and carrot were all on offer, along with a few dips, just to help those that needed that little extra help downing a vegetable.
