Fruity Friday at Togher N.S.

Fruity Friday is a great way of encouraging Healthy Eating in the school. It’s also lots of fun. This week the children tried a variety of fruits – banana, kiwi, apple, strawberry and pineapple on skewers. They were delicious. Healthy eating never tasted so good. A special thank you to 5th and 6th class who helped to prepare the fruit skewers.

Build a Tower Challenge

Miss Daly challenged the children to create a tower using skewers and marshmallows. Construction challenges provide a fantastic opportunity to development a range of important skills: inventiveness, problem solving, creative thinking, perseverance, motivation, evaluation, editing and revision, analytical thinking and the use of a range of real life tools. It was wonderful to watch the children work collaboratively to find solutions to the challenge.
