The parent helper prepares the snacks with two children. The snack bar is opened for the children to have a snack. The children have to find their names from their drawer and take it to the snack table. They then have a choice of healthy snacks to choose from such as yoghurt, cheese and biscuits, fruit and vegetables. The menu is different each day. Milk and water are also offered. The snack bar usually closes at about 11am or when all the children have had a snack. Activities continue whilst the snack bar is open.
