Stage 3: Sharing Platform

Miss Chung , Teacher

• The most inspiring thing was that children learnt to analyse the nutritional composition of their lunch boxes. They even told us what kind of healthy food they ate the night before and what kind of exercise they did over the weekend.
  
  
• Some children rejected sweets as reward. They even said that sweets should be avoided as excess sugar intake will lead to tooth decay.
  
  
• Teachers attended workshops and talks organised by the Department of Health and shared what they had learnt with each other afterwards. The information helped them become aware of the types of food and suggested portions for senior pupils. Also, the teachers realised that healthy food items are not necessarily unpalatable, and that they are in fact easy to prepare.

Conclusion

A healthy lifestyle has to root in childhood. The project brought life-long benefits to children. The teachers also learnt a lot about their own well-being.
