We are currently taking part in the Food Dudes Programme. This programme gives pupils the opportunity to taste a variety of fruit and vegetables. Food Dudes is a programme developed by the University of Wales, Bangor, to encourage children to eat more fruit and vegetables both in school and at home. It is based on positive role models (the Food Dudes characters), repeated tasting and rewards.
Pupils in Junior Infants – 2nd Class are taking part in the complete programme while senior pupils take part in a ‘reminder’ programme.
( 4th Class pupils prepare the fresh fruit and vegetables for distribution to classrooms)
