Cyril the Circus Seal

In a booklet intended principally for Key Stage 2 pupils in years 3 and 4, Cyril  gives an amusing and informative guide to balanced nutrition.

Parents can read the booklet with their children and encourage them to choose a balance of foods from all of the food groups. Teachers can download and print material to be used in class work.
