All about Food

Healthy Eating with the Secretary of State

Year 6 children from St. Sebastian's met Andy Burnham, Secretary of State for Health, at Wavertree Technology Park in February.

They were in the Everton Healthy Bus looking at different foods and how to have a healthy diet. Mr. Burnham is an Everton supporter.

New School Kitchen and Charity Cakes

These photographs show the children and staff enjoying the free salad bar which was in school all last week. The new kitchen is almost ready in school and there will be a daily salad bar as part of the new selection. There will also be a taster day for the children and we are planning to have sessions for parents to come along and see the new facilities and sample some of the new meals on offer. Our cook will be able to offer a wider range of meals and we are hoping that many more children will start to have hot dinner in school instead of packed lunches which are time consuming for parents to prepare every day.

Meanwhile, three children from Y6 went along to the L'Arche Workshop on Lockerby Road on Friday to present the cheque and money raised from the cake sales they had organised in school. The children were shown around the workshop and met some of the residents many of whom they recognised from St Sebastian's church.

The children enjoyed the visit and unfortunately were not able to stay for the soup lunch as they had to get back to school for their afternoon lessons. It was enjoyable to visit the lovely chapel in the building and see a slide show of the L'Arche House in Haiti which is in need of repair following the devastating earthquake. The money the children has raised will go a long way to support the repairs. Thank you to everyone for your support.

Ean in  Y6 put together this thank you letter to send out to the parents and families of the children in the school for their support buying cakes. The amount raised in now more than this as the children have continued to bring in and sell cakes.
