Do you ever struggle to get your pupils to eat all their fruit and vegetables? Today we want young people to understand the importance of eating their 5-a-day of fruit and vegetables. Eating a balanced diet brings many health benefits and today is a chance to promote these with the help of Change4life and Mary's Meals.  New for this year are the four Change4life Healthy Eating Quizzes for Key Stages 1 to 4. Why not have a go yourself? 

NSMW is working with Mary's Meals, a charity that provides daily meals to chronically hungry children at their local school in places like Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. By showing the work of this charity to young people we want them to understand how lucky they are to have fruit, salad and vegetables on their plate every day. Children in poorer countries are going to school just to receive free porridge as it's the only meal they will get that day. Many children will have to walk miles to school and then walk back again but the benefits to their life are huge as food encourages school attendance. The charity gives many children a brighter future.
