Junior Chefs for the day!
On Monday 6th March, 2023 some pupils from 6th class became Junior Chefs for the day. Under the watchful eye of professional Chef Paul and his able assistants Aggie and Helen, the children prepared a delicious and nutritious noodle stir-fry.
We owe Chef Paul, Aggie and Helen a huge debt of gratitude for giving of their time and resources so generously.
