  Wed 27 Sep 2023

  What an absolute treat it was to welcome Janice and Andria from the Friendly Food Club to engage some of our families to cook Spaghetti Bolognaise. 
  Each family got involved with the whole process of cooking together, with the hope they will enjoy eating together. 
  It was so great to see our children and their families together and to finish the meal off, they got a new slow cooker to take home.  
  A huge thank you to Ms Stephens for organising this and The Friendly Food Club for their support and a great session.
