Will
the fruit be delivered?
This will depend on the
arrangements made, but it should be easy to organise delivery of fruit.
Simply ask the person you are
getting the fruit from if they can arrange delivery.
What
about litter?
This is not generally an issue as
most suppliers will collect the
boxes they deliver fruit in on the next delivery date. Waste fruit can be
collected separately and composted as part of the Green Schools
initiative.
How
is money collected?
Money should be collected from
each child at the start of the week. Parents
should be informed of the cost each week and asked to send in the required
amount with their child at the start of each week.
Should
the fruits be varied?
Yes, as different fruits contain a
variety of different antioxidants
and beneficial substances it is important that children eat as broad a
variety as possible. Varying the fruits offered will help also to maintain
interest and will help get children used to new fruits.
Can
children be allergic to fruits?
Yes! Though it is exceptionally rare, some children can be allergic to
fruits. It is important to
find out if any children in the
school are allergic to fruit. In the
leaflet sent home you should ask parents to contact the school to inform
you if their child is allergic to any types of fruit.
