Introducing Mr. Fruito & Ms. Veggie

Under our fruit & veg program ‘Glow & Grow with Fruits & Veggies’, a second activity - Mr. Fruito and Ms. Veggie was carried out today, 25th June 2014. This is an activity which gives a lot of nutritional information on a monthly basis.

This activity started today, with a presentation for the students based on the ‘Health benefits of fruits and vegetables’ and the ‘Power of colour variety of fruits and vegetables’. The presentation was given by our school nurse Ms. Jannath Zuhair. Following the presentation, students were engaged in completing a Quiz Paper.

After the presentation, Mr. Melon and Ms. Cucumber - the fruit and vegetable for the month of June and July were also introduced. The major aim of introducing this is to aware the students that there are fruits and vegetables available locally which are beneficial for our health.
The school will also be monitoring how much melon and cucumber are used in our students’ daily diet during the month of June and July and then a fruit and veg ‘census’ will be done monthly.

The activity ended in a small gathering where teachers provided their students with watermelon and enjoyed the mellow bites.
