On Wednesday 8 March, pupils once again took part in Food Waste Action Week. In partnership with Chef Laura and our school caterer’s Thomas Franks (Surplus to Purpose) and supported by Mark Mason from Design Nature, pupils in Year’s 3 to 6 and 7 and 8 were involved in exploring aspects of Food Waste reduction under the theme “Win, Don’t Bin”; creating their own recipes from essentials found in our cupboards at home; costing out meal deals; and gaining an understanding of Green Careers, including Mrs Cullen’s insights into her family farm.
