School mixes it up with online cookery lessons
A PRIMARY school cooked up a treat for families by hosting a virtual holiday club over half-term.
Children at Bury and Whitefield Jewish Primary School enjoyed everything from kids’ yoga and street dance sessions to scavenger hunts and scratch games thanks to the online activities.
Parents and staff at the Unsworth school gave up their time to put on the sessions and even headteacher Claire Simon got involved, showing children how to make her ‘staffroom favourite’ biscuits.
She said: “The teachers gave up their time and we had lots of families joining in. I do a lot of baking for the staff at school so they asked me to do a demonstration making the florentines.
“Children could join in as much or as little as they wanted and parents were thrilled with all the activities to keep them occupied.”
Mum Debbie Graham said: “It’s been an amazing week, there have been so many activities to choose from to keep my kids busy and active and it’s been great seeing them having so much fun with their friends.
“I’m hugely grateful.”
