Energy Balls!

Sixth class pupils made energy balls as a treat for the rest of the school today. They tasted delicious and are a lovely healthy snack idea for over the Christmas holiday. Thank you to Ms. Robinson for organising this special treat!

As part of the SPHE curriculum and SET, Ms Robinson is encouraging Healthy food and Independent and creative cooking skills in the school.

Cooking local foods and in season, the pupils started with stewed apple. The pupils had a choice of toppings and flavourings.

Next was apple crumble which they learned to brown in the air fryer.

Homemade chips were very popular using Maris Piper potatoes with Celtic sea salt.

Omelettes were made and served with small wraps. Pupils learned they are a high source of protein and a filling lunch or breakfast option.

Energy balls with oats and honey as the main ingredients were produced as healthy on-the-go snacks.

This whole school activity is getting great feedback from pupils who are using the skills at home and sharing knowledge together.
