Our first harvest of radishes!

Healthy cooking workshops June 2019 Over the summer term, Healthy Cooking workshops were provided for pupils from all classes across the school. These workshops were facilitated by our catering providers, Manchester Fayre and their representative Jack, who came along and worked with Janine and Linda, our school cooks, engaging pupils with fun activities! The objectives for the workshops were; for pupils to develop basic cookery skills, a sensory awareness of foods and progress towards a healthy lifestyle. Pupils were supported to make healthy foods for taking home and enjoying with their families in order to celebrate success. A huge thank you to all involved and especially to our pupils for their enthusiasm and creativity!
