Chocolate self-saucing pudding   

Our Upper Juniors learned how to make mini self-saucing puddings. Students enjoyed their pudding with ice cream or custard. 

This week is Healthy Bones Week. We talked about ways to keep our bones healthy and strong by eating foods from the Dairy group like milk, cheese and yoghurt. Exercise like running, jumping and dancing is also good for bone strength. Students put a big floor puzzle together to learn more about calcium from dairy food and vitamin D through safe sunshine.
