Well done to this week’s winners of the Ruby Reward Table

Thanks to Tesco Fruit & Veg for Schools scheme our P1/2 pupils have all gone home today with fresh vegetables and a recipe to make a pot of soup at home.

Every class will receive their vegetables and recipe over the next few weeks.

We all know that there is nothing better than a pot of homemade Lentil soup on a frosty day!
