The week beginning Feb 22nd will be Healthy Schools Week.

The children will be involved in a range of activities and trips to local restaurants to teach them how to be healthy. We hope to take the children to Beypazari to visit the carrot packing factory and the local market!

The school will offer fresh fruit and vegetable nibbles to all children during morning break. They will also have the opportunity to take part in keep fit fun each day with the chance to do some yoga and meditation.

The children are also encouraged to create their very own fruit and vegetable creatures for Friday 26th when the best will be judged worthy of a prize. We are launching a whole school Healthy recipe competition. Everyone can bring in a recipe during this week. The winning recipes will be made into a school cookbook and the best recipe will be cooked by GREG for the whole school to enjoy! Friday 26th is designated FOOD FUN DAY with live food preparation
