J3 have been doing their D&T project about healthy cereal bars. They have tasted and evaluated several commercially produced bars (and the packaging) then designed and made their own bars and boxes. The completed bars were judged by the school cooks, taken home for family opinions and the leftovers eaten by grateful staff!
Everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable time and learned a lot. Many thanks to Mrs Leyland (for making) and Mr Rodriguez (for decorating) – their help was hugely appreciated.
