​We integrated healthy eating education into our daily activities such as designing Eatwell Posters, healthy eating tags to decorate a colourful and bright cardboard tree and planting herb seeds into decorated tin can planters. ​As always, we were impressed with the creativity of the young people and the individuality of the artwork produced despite the materials and instructions provided being the same for everyone.
