As part of our Healthy Eating Initiative, Rathmore National School recently celebrated Healthy Eating Week, a week dedicated to helping children learn about healthy food choices, balanced nutrition, and the importance of looking after their wellbeing.

We were delighted to welcome Ríona Phelan, Nutritionist, who visited the school to speak with pupils from Senior Infants to Sixth Class. Through a series of engaging, age-appropriate workshops, Ríona helped children explore the benefits of healthy eating and encouraged them to make positive food choices every day.

Interactive nutrition games helped children learn about healthy food choices in a fun way.

Throughout the week, pupils took part in a range of fun and interactive activities. From nutrition quizzes and food-based games to creating healthy wraps and colourful food designs, the children learned that healthy eating can be both enjoyable and delicious. The workshops provided valuable opportunities for pupils to develop a greater understanding of nutrition while trying a variety of healthy foods.

A sincere thank you to Ríona for sharing her expertise and making healthy eating such an enjoyable and memorable experience for all our pupils.

Creativity and healthy eating combined
