Fruit and fruit helpers

Starting from Monday we would like to offer a wider range of fruit for all children, to encourage a few more to eat fruit at breaktime.
At the moment children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to free fruit and any other children pay 10p per day.
We have basic fruit available (apples, satsumas, carrots etc) from the suppliers, but we would now like to supplement this fruit with other things—grapes, pineapple, melon, cucumber, peppers and soft fruits when in season.
This would allow the children to have two portions of fruit a day from a much wider selection, eg half an apple and some grapes; half a banana and a slice of melon etc.
For the moment, we will try to cover our costs with contributions of 10p per day. If you would like your child to try the new fruit from Monday, then please pay 10p per day.
We still need helpers to prepare the fruit first thing in the morning—so to get you out of Wake and Shake you could come in and wash and slice up the fruit!
