🌈 Eat the Rainbow! 🍓🍍

Today, our Reception children took part in a fantastic ‘Eat the Rainbow’ workshop, provided by Accent Catering!

During the workshop, the children explored a variety of colourful fruits and vegetables, learning about the different colours and how they help keep our bodies healthy. Their curiosity shone through as they asked questions, discovered new facts and explored the importance of making healthy food choices. 🍎🥕🥦

The fun continued as the children got hands-on and created their very own delicious fruit kebabs, putting their new knowledge into practice! 🍇🍌🍓

A big thank you to Accent Catering for delivering such an engaging and enjoyable workshop, inspiring our children to be curious about the food they eat and how it helps their bodies grow and thrive. 💚
