In Bursted Wood Primary, Bexely, London, pupils held a campaign day. The purpose of the campaign day was to encourage a whole school approach, with pupils at the forefront, spreading their learning around sustainable food.
Pupils created healthy smoothies using surplus fruit that was either wonky, frozen or bruised, using this fruit that would have gone to waste, to create delicious smoothies instead.
Parents supported the campaign by creating their own recipes using leftovers, parents made banana cake, fruit kebabs and cous cous salad.
206 Parents made pledges or contributed recipes, and 360 pupils were engaged in the food action campaign. The school created a recipe book with all their left over recipes and they put together an Action Plan, with key things they can do to continue their excellent food action campaign.
