Apples are an excellent choice for a snack.
Healthy Snacks - Age 5-7
Eating a balanced diet is one aspect of Health Education taught to children in KS1. In this quiz, written specifically for children in years 1 and 2, we look at snacks and how to incorprorate them into a healthy diet.
Sometimes we can get hungry between our meals. If that happens you may want to choose a snack.The choice you make can be important. It's very tempting to always choose chocolate, biscuits or crisps as a snack. This is OK sometimes, but fruit it a much healthier option, so try to pick that at least as often as you choose a less heathy snack..
So, let's see if you know which snacks are good for you and which are not. Good luck!
