Let College know if there are any
barriers to your child being able to learn

internet problems.
It is important to allow children time to

for example, so that they are socialising.
If you are concerned about their time
spent online, the following organisations
can provide useful advice.• Strawberries are highly nutritious and
low in both carbs and calories.
• Nuts and seeds – Almonds are loaded
with vitamin E, antioxidants and fibre.
• Vegetables – Carrots are full of fibre
and vitamin K and make a quick,
preparation-free snack.
• Broccoli contains a decent amount
of protein compared to other
vegetables.
• Potatoes are loaded with potassium
and contain a little bit of almost every
nutrient you need, including vitamin C.
