Who we are

Romilly Max Safwan Olivia

How did we get chosen

• We applied by writing a letter to school council and explaining why we wanted to be part of school food ambassadors.

What was the first thing we did?

• We signed the contract • We organised our folders• We decided on roles within the group• We organised the monitoring rota• We agreed on the monitoring sheets• We meet most Wednesdays at 12:30• We feed back through school council • We made a booklet and a display board

Our Notice Board

Why we wanted to be a school food ambassador

• Max: to make the school a healthier place and the lunch times better.

• Jaya: I want all the children to be happy with their dinners.

• Holly: to make the school a healthier place and the children are satisfied with the food they are eating.

What was the food like before school food ambassadors

• Mash potato was instant mash

• The carrots were cooked too much

• The food selections were more repetitive

• The dinners were cold and children throw most of their dinner away

• We had dinner bands

• There was no salad bar

Changes we have already made

• We have changed the rota in the dinner hall• There is more choice of menu• Can now have more raw vegetables from the salad bar

and other options• Because we don’t have dinner bands children can now

choose on the day• Reception and nursery still have bands so parents can

choose for them• More children are choosing school dinners

The kitchen staff

• The staff are really friendly and they answer our questions.

Our next steps

• Evaluate our monitoring sheets and discuss feedback with cook and head teacher.

• Try and have class tables and see how well they look after their table and clear up after themselves.

• The table that is the cleanest get to choose the CD for the following week to play in the dinner hall

• Keep checking the food is healthy and the children are enjoying it
