Fruit Tuck Shops

So here is what your School Council could do:

Carry out surveys to find out:

• If the idea of a Fruit Tuck shop is popular
• How many children eat fruit and how often
• Which are the most popular fruits

Contact fruit suppliers to find out how much fruit would cost

Order the fruit from the chosen supplier

Find out about Fairtrade and organic fruit and how these can help the people who grow them and help to protect the environment; you could find out if you can order these from suppliers

Plan how to store fruit safely

Organise the running of a Fruit Tuck shop - the Council could invite students to apply for the job of running the shop and then interview them

Have responsibility for collecting money and making sure it is kept safe

Design posters and newsletters to inform the school community about the Fruit Tuck shop

Find out about how composting can help reduce the waste produced by the Fruit Tuck shop

Survey pupils again after the Fruit Tuck shop has been running for a while to find out if more people are eating fruit than before
