Today at CEM we enjoyed a very special menu.
Our 5-year-old students, as part of their inquiry unit “Eat healthy, feel healthy”, took part in a team competition to design a healthy menu. Our head chef, Pilar, selected the winning proposal, which was then brought to our school kitchens.
The chosen menu was created by the students and shared with other classes, where they proudly presented their ideas to their peers. A full learning experience that today the whole school got to taste and enjoy!
