(healthy eating) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-FEDDDAE5-7D4E-4FAF-B126-A4597F512762.png) 6 January 2026 ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-FEDDDAE5-7D4E-4FAF-B126-A4597F512762.png)In PSHE today, Year 3 became health consultants for some very special friends! We were joined by Harold the Giraffe, Derek the Penguin, and Kiki the Kangaroo. The children received an urgent email from Derek, who needed help planning a healthy, balanced party meal. Using the 'Eatwell Guide', the children debated which foods build muscle, strengthen bones, and provide energy. They’ve sent their nutritious meal plans off to Derek, and we are now eagerly awaiting his reply to see what he thinks of their delicious and healthy idea.
