MJS Fruit & Vegetables Fair

Doctora Milocas and our Grade 1-6 students

Milton Junior school Fruit and Vegetables Fair to promote healthy eating

Bitesize!

Our students spent the morning learning about the benefits of healthy eating at Milton Junior School Fruit and Vegetable Fair. Watch our video and see if you can spot your favourite fruits and vegetables!

The details…

The Milton Junior School Fruits and Vegetables Fair was developed to introduce our students to the wide variety of fruit and vegetables available in our local region. We actively encourage our students to form healthy eating habits from an early age.

We use this as an opportunity to teach our students about vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates, dietary fibre and why some plant chemicals can make fruits and vegetables ‘super foods’! We show how the science they learn in the classroom has a direct impact on their daily lives and we encourage them all to share their new knowledge with family at home.

We are grateful to Doctora Milocas for explaining the health benefits of a diet rich in fruit and vegetables in such a fun and engaging way and thanks as always to Mr Maguu for his support. We are already looking forward to our next Fair!
