Last academic year, Aldi invited our pupils be part of their ‘What Healthy Eating Means to You!’ art competition. The winner was yesterday announced… Victoria, 5H took the 1st prize with her Eat the Rainbow artwork. Victoria has received an Aldi £20 gift card and a certificate. A close runner up was Phoebe, now in 1T. A big thank you to all the pupils who handed in their art to Mr Ireland last academic year.
It is encouraging to see children taking eating healthy seriously.
