Lunch bunch Twyford bike winner is wheely lucky
Polehampton Junior School, Twyford pupil Kate Chalmers can pedal away this summer after winning a bike in a special food awareness competition, organised by Wokingham Borough Council’s school meals contractors, Edwards and Ward.
Pupils, teachers and parents celebrated Food Awareness Week (June 11 to 15) by enjoying special lunches and roadshows aimed at demonstrating the high-quality, healthy food on offer in school kitchens across the borough.
Wokingham Borough Council joined forces with school meal contractors Edwards and Ward to organise activities, including food-tasting sessions, school council lunches and the “win a bike” competition for pupils.
And on July 13, lucky Twyford Kate Chalmers won the competition with her quirky names for Edwards and Ward’s ‘lunch bunch’ cartoon characters. She called the cheeky vegetable characters Carrot Stix, Apple Pip Squeak, Tomato Splat, Broccoli Brains and Banana Splitz. Kate won a bike and she said: “Thank you very much, my mum and dad were thinking about buying me a new bike as mine was becoming too small.”
The council introduced a new school meals contract in September 2006 with Tunbridge Wells-based company Edwards and Ward. Parents have been given a leaflet which lists what is on the menu each day. There are 56 schools in the borough which are part of the school meal contract and all have seen increases in take-up since September.
