What foods are students bringing to school in their lunch boxes? Instead of snacks that are filled with sugar, students should be bringing healthy foods, such as sliced banana or strawberries, little sliced carrots is also a healthy choice in living a healthy life. #UoNTeach

@thomas96_96 Great idea @thomas96_96, schools should also have their own compost, where they can put the food scraps to help limit waste and create a compost. #UoNTeach

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

Thats alot of tyres going to waste @thomas96_96. Recycled tyres would be perfect for schools and their school gardens. #UoNTeach https://t.co/AWy1bCvr7G

[Thomas McGrath @thomas96_96]

It's sad to know that less then a 5th of tires are recycled each year. #UoNTeach

A school garden offers many opportunities to students, it allows them to be in the outdoors, while doing hands on activities and learning life skills by gardening. #UoNTeach

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

While a food garden may provide healthy food for the school. It also provides a healthy environment by the plants soaking up the carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen, which helps create a healthy cleaner school for the students. #UoNTeach

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

What sort of foods are being sold at sporting canteens, mostly sugary drinks and sugary foods. Switching to a fruit and vegetable diet allows students to be rich with vitamins, minerals and dietry fibre. #UoNTeach

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

Another great reason to have a food garden in the school is for students to learn about the role of food in life, a food garden allows the students to improve nutrition, while also highlighting healthy foods. #UoNTeach

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

Great results from Toronto students who have their own initiative called 'plant in', the students created the plant in to raise awareness for healthy eating, which helped them do better at sports and concentrate more in the classroom. #UoNTeach

“#goodfood keeps my body healthy so I can do sports and stuff, and learn at school and not fall asleep,”
Check out this article about students who organized a 'plant-in' to raise awareness about Canada's current food-literacy curriculum!

A great result of a healthy eating implementation at Prague elementary. This allowed students to have more focus during their exams and achieve great results, because of their healthy diets. #UoNTeach

Students at Prague Elementary were eating better during their tests thanks to the Prague Education Booster Club! Healthy eating habits that kids gain will help them make nutritious choices in the future. Learn more about eating better at school at https://t.co/Yxcqmznwye.

This shows how this school has implemented healthy eating into their walk to school week, they address that they have incorporated other aspects of being healthy, by being in the outdoors and exercises. #UoNTeach

[Tennyson Road @TennysonRoadLTN]

The children have really enjoyed the focus on Walk to School week. We incorporated other aspects of being healthy, such as healthy eating, being in the outdoors and exercising. We hope that everyone had a lovely half term and continues to be healthy

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

This is a great indication that healthy eating needs to be addressed at home as well as school. With students creating a healthy lifestyle with their garden, they can help create a greener environment as well as healthy eating. #UoNTeach

Did you know that UK #kids eat half their daily recommended #sugar before school. Reduce your kids intake by switching to #healthy #breakfast alternatives

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

Another great community involvement with volunteers helping students learn about compost and how to get the compost ready for next years growing season. #UoNTeach

[The Allotment Project🌿 @RHS_Allotment]

04/06/2018: Our #DofE #volunteers worked hard after school today to learn from Alan, our new community volunteers, who is teaching young people about how to make #compost @ReephamHigh's @RHS_Allotment. This compost will be ready for next year's growing season. #thinkahead

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

Another way students can help create a healthy environment is to create a compost in their school garden, this is an excellent way to get students to recycle their food scraps. #UoNTeach

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

Its great to see community involvement in creating healthy eating for students in schools. This allows students to have a healthy diet, while also interacting with parents and other community members. #UoNTeach

#WorldEnvironmentDay
In #Uganda "The School of #Peace" (#Nyumanzi Settlement for #SouthSudan|ese #Refugees) has a rainwater harvesting system for irrigation.
The vegetable garden of the School is feeding children in a resource-poor environment.

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

The benefits of gardening in the school allow the teachers to integrate across a range of subject areas. It gives students a sense of pride and ownership of the garden they have created, this also helps students eat healthy because they have created their own food. #UoNTeach

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

The plants students plant can help reduce the greenhouse effect and slow the effects of global warming. This is a great lesson in teaching students about the effects plants can have on the environment and how they can make a difference by doing this. #UoNTeach

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

Another great reason besides a healthy approach with School gardens, is community involvement. Community involvement allows a link with neighbors, volunteers, parents and community businesses, to help the students achieve their healthy eating goals #UoNTeach

[Jacob McGrath @JacobMc137]

This a great 10 step programs in showing how schools can implement healthy eating to their canteen menu. This allows students to adapt a healthy eating approach. #UoNTeach

Step 6 is available now!! It’s called “Cooking up an Everyday storm" and it will help you to review a recipe to make it healthier and cut costs. Canteen Managers and schools - have you checked out the 10 Steps to a Healthy School Canteen? https://t.co/SONbdzttIk

Creating a food garden in your school allows students to understand the role of food in life – the garden allows students to improve their nutrition and highlight the healthy foods, that they are growing. #UoNTeach
