CHILDREN at Brookham Pre-prep School took part in a “healthy breakfast“ challenge.

They learned about a balanced diet, how different foods help the body in different ways, and about the digestive system. During lessons they planned their healthy breakfast by creating a menu and deciding what equipment they would need.

Supported by a small army of parent helpers, the children chopped, cut, squeezed, spread and arranged a veritable feast of healthy breakfast foods, including fruit, yoghurt, smoothies, eggs and toast.

Guest chef and judge, Pierre Le Cochon (AKA Mr Wilson), was more than impressed with their efforts.

The winning team, The Banana Splits, won by only half a point and the spread of scores was narrow. In the end it was down to creativity and an excellent balance of protein, carbohydrate and fruit.
