We had an amazing time at Castledyke school in Barton today. We were given a class of 30 year 6 pupils to work with and they had some brilliant ideas and comments.

Janet gives the children a brief presentation on healthy eating, the food groups and the benefits of including seafood.

Once Janet had given her presentation, the kids were given a huge list of ingredients to work with and they sat and worked out a recipe. They then had the opportunity to put together their fish bake.

Some of the year 6 pupils putting together their fish bakes.

The children had an extensive list of vegetables to choose from and they did a brilliant job of working out what went together and what herbs and spices would compliment them. They also chose which type of seafood they would like in their dish and although some of them hadn’t tasted some of the types, they were keen to embrace it.

They worked together fantastically!

We were so pleased with how the day went. The kids learnt a great deal about the types of foods they should be eating and they didn’t shy away from the healthy foods and trying new foods too.

Making healthy choices.. all the children were keen to pack their bakes with nutritious vegetables and healthy seafood.

We were glad to hear the kids enjoyed the day as much as we did and they are now as fanatical about fish and healthy eating as we are! 🙂
