FREE LUNCHES FOR RECEPTION, YEAR 1 & YEAR 2

Choosing this lunch on School Census Day influences the funding the school receives from the Government, and will cost you nothing, so PLEASE HELP US!  Thank you!

 

European Day of Languages Special Menu - FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER

 NEXT FRIDAY...

Please note the usual menu for Fri 25 Sept (Chicken Nuggets), will be served on Thurs 24 Sept instead of the planned Thursday menu.

Waste-Free Wednesdays

As part of our commitment to reducing waste within the Our School, Our World initiative, we will be introducing Waste-Free Wednesdays.

On Wednesdays, we encourage children to bring packed lunches in reusable lunch boxes and containers and to avoid single-use plastics where possible. By reducing unnecessary packaging and choosing recyclable or reusable options, we can work together to cut down on waste and help protect our environment. Of course, it doesn’t have to be just Wednesdays but it would be a good starting point!

Some ideas include:

• Reusable lunch boxes instead of disposable bags
• Refillable drinks bottles
• Reusable snack containers
• Avoiding individually wrapped items where possible

Small changes can make a big difference, and we appreciate your support in helping our children become environmentally responsible citizens.

New cake sampling

A group of children, including School Council,  were invited to trial a new Cinnamon Swirl cake that Mrs Aldred wants to introduce to the menu.  All the children enjoyed it with glowing comments.  Key stage 2 worked out it was a cinnamon flavour and all said that they loved it .  Sebastian said he thought it was yummy; Bea  loved the icing and thought that there could be more; Rowan commented that it was delicious and Key stage 1 all thought it "so good".   It was certainly a success and Mrs Aldred is now adding it to the menu. 

 

Taste Testing

The school council were asked to carry out a very important role today.  They had to taste the dessert that will be served as a trial dessert on Wednesday 12 June.

The Chocolate Fudge Slice was a hit and these were some of the comments,

‘Can we have some more?’

‘Delicious’

‘5000 thumbs up!’

‘Fudgy’

‘Chocolatey’

 

Easter Lunch

Mrs Aldred made trays of wonderful Easter cupcakes for the Easter lunch dessert yesterday.

They disappeared very quickly!

School Council help make new menu choices

Today we had two visitors from Quorn, Lizzy and Bobby. They came to demonstrate the importance of a healthy diet and how this can work in each of our diets. The school council absolutely loved tasting and learning about the different food groups and how food can play a big part of the environment as well as our body health. Obviously, Quorn is a vegetarian alternative protein to meat and the children learned about this.

The children from the School Council got involved in making Quorn sausage rolls and also helped with the making of the Quorn chicken chilli noodles. They both tasted delicious and shared these with the staff of the school.

The children were an asset to the school and came up with many interesting discussion points and talked about their own diet and food. SRH should be very proud of them, well done!
