We are officially opened!

Beacon Primary School celebrated its official opening ceremony on 23 July 2010. The event was graced by the Acting Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts (MICA), Mr Lui Tuck Yew. Overall, we felt that it was a huge success! Our pride in our pupils and staff is immense, with everyone playing his/her part. The many hours of preparation and planning was worth it! As Beacons, we truly SHINE!

Healthy Sandwich Making with Fruittiekids

On Monday, 5th April, our Fruittiekids had a sandwich making session which helped them to learn more about healthy eating and food nutrition. After watching the teacher's demonstration, pupils were invited to try making the sandwiches on their own.

Wholemeal bread was used instead of plain white bread with the intention of educating the Fruittiekids on the wholesome benefits of whole-grains. Wholemeal bread has more vitamins and minerals as compared to ordinary white bread. More importantly, they contain more fibre and this keeps us full for longer periods of time. 

In order to become stronger and faster, athletes participating in the Olympics have dietitians (people who plan what these athletes eat) to ensure that they eat balanced and nutritious meals. Although we may not have dietitians to help us plan our meals, we can still enjoy the health benefits of a balanced diet by making sure that we consume food from the different food groups. 
 
Looking at the food pyramid, a big part of our diet should consist of food from the Rice & Alternatives group. Food from this group provides us with energy as they contain carbohydrates. In order to grow tall and strong, our bodies need vitamins and minerals to stay healthy. We should consume at least 2 servings of fruits and 2 servings of vegetables. Meat & Alternatives provide us with protein to develop strong muscles.  
We should consume less food from the Fats, Oils, Sugar & Salt group.
