At Sparklers we have a free flow snack area, this is so children are not interrupted in their independent learning. Snack time is a time where children can learn about healthy snacks and gives them an opportunity to develop responsibility. The older children help their younger peers with the water dispenser, getting straws from the wrapper and peeling fruits.
The children are given a range of foods to choose from melons, cucumber, peppers, olives and cereals. This week the children have made their own sandwiches.
As well as free flow snacks we have a group snack and chatter time at a time that is convenient for all the children.
