LEP Article on the Importance of Growing Fruit and Veg

Mrs Cookson and some of the children from her class were featured in an article in the Lancashire Evening Post last week. The article talks about the importance of growing fruit and veg and knowing where our food comes from. Growing your own food can encourage healthy eating. 

Lancashire County Council has commissioned the 'Food for Life' programme which runs over two years and is an initiative which is designed to foster a 'good food culture'.

Mrs Cookson hopes that the school's large environmental area can be used to grow more fruit and veg. If any green-fingered locals would be interested in volunteering to help tend to the plot, please get in touch.
