This term, 2/3/4 are implementing a Nude Food Challenge across the school. Nude food is food that is not wrapped in foil, plastic or packaging. 

Over two weeks last term, 2/3/4 completed a rubbish audit at our school and found that a lot of the rubbish in the playground and bins were from the wrappers being brought to school from home in lunchboxes. We decided that we needed to do something to help reduce the amount of waste in our school. 

Each class will be given a waste bin that will be kept in the weather shed. Each week the 2/3/4 students will weigh the rubbish of each class’s bin and will award a point to the class with the least amount of packaging in their bin. The class with the most points at the end of the term will be awarded the Nude Food Champions and will receive some free play time. Our aim is to have no packaging and wrappers in the bins. 

So how can you participate in the Nude Food Challenge?

• Transfer snacks from packaging into containers.
• Wrap sandwiches in beeswax wraps or paper
• Use containers for anything you would normally wrap in glad wrap or wrap them in beeswax wraps or paper 

2/3/4 appreciate your assistance in helping reduce the waste at St Joseph’s. Don’t forget to ‘put your food in the nude.’
