Vegetable victory at Pentland primary

WITh aprons strapped to their chests and chef’s hats standing tall, Pentland Primary School prep and grade1 pupils like Jackson, Sarah and Taiya (pictured) get ready to simmer a chunky homemade vegetable soup during a MasterChef day. The ingredients were picked from the pupils’ own vegetable garden.

The soup-making was also part of a ‘healthy eating week’ at the school. Acting assistant principal Sue Collins said: “We’re encouraging sustainable, healthy practices. I’m sure they all watch MasterChef with their parents … cooking’s a fun activity we can all do.”
