Fruit and Bread Day - 2003

After the success of our Cereal Day, we decided to hold a Bread Day first and then a Fruit Day along the same lines as the first day.

We decided to hold them on Friday mornings.

A lot of our mothers and grannies baked their own special type of brown bread or soda bread or scones for the Bread Day. They were brilliant. They even sent the bread in sliced up with butter as well.

We discovered that every home-made bread tasted different. We couldn't choose which was the best; they were all brilliant!

We had wholemeal bread, pitta bread, tortillas, and lots more too. Of course we had plain loaf bread as well. Some mothers sent in currant bread to us. It was really delicious.

The Fruit Day was the same except we all brought in a variety of fruits.

We had oranges, kiwis, blood oranges, lots of types of apples, pineapple, grapefruit, mango, plums, peaches, mandarins, pears, melon and even something we eventually figured out was a Passion Fruit. More of us are bringing fruit to school in our lunchboxes now and we have cut back on bars etc. Our school has a policy now that we bring healthy snacks from Monday to Thursday and then on Friday we break out! We are allowed bring bars, sweets and biscuits in our lunchboxes on Friday, which is a real treat.
