Roots to Food

 Ready, Steady, Cook!

Today our children and staff were treated to a wonderful workshop all about healthy foods. In KS2 two teams, Green and Red, battled it out to create the best dish using healthy ingredients, in just 15 minutes! Miss McIntosh led the Red Team and Mr Smith led the Green Team. The Red Team created some delicious salmon pesto fish cakes, with salsa and pasta 😋and the Green Team cooked a scrumptious, spicy chicken rogan josh with sultana rice😋. 

All of the KS2 children were able to vote on the best presentation and which one they would order in a restaurant - Red Team won the presentation vote and Green Team were the most popular choice on the menu. The decider though was when both meals were tasted by all of the KS2 staff and the winner (it was close!) was the Red Team! 👏👏👏

This afternoon our KS1 children learned about being healthy and giving their bodies the fuel they need to have the energy they need for learning and exercising. They were given some freshly made banana smoothies (oat milk for those who couldn't have cow's milk!) an there was a competition to see which class in each year group had the most empty cups at the end. It was a close call but 1SB and 2B were the winners 👏👏👏

 

All of the children had great fun and we are very grateful to Darren from 'Roots to Food' who ran the sessions.
