A Warminster school recently hosted a special pizza-making session, where pupils and their parents came together to learn how to prepare healthy, homemade pizzas.
Minster School welcomed families and staff, alongside representatives from Wiltshire Council, for the ‘PhunkyFoods’ event, which aims to show how easy it can be to create healthy meals and encourage long-term good eating habits.
Jennie Cockroft, programme director at PhunkyFoods, said, “It was lovely to see how excited the children were to host this event and engage with their parents and guests. Making healthy eating fun and hands-on really helps children build good habits that can stick with them for life. Sessions like this aren’t just about teaching, they’re about giving children the confidence to make healthier choices for themselves and their families.”
Headteacher James Hobbs added, “This doesn’t just help the pupils’ understanding, it’s also good for their wellbeing, confidence and enthusiasm which they share with younger children. It’s about drawing the whole community together and breaking down barriers, with parents and the community working as one.”
Wiltshire Council funds PhunkyFoods sessions at 15 primary schools across the county, including Avenue Primary School, Horningsham Primary and Princecroft Primary School. The scheme aims to support families to eat healthily.
