LUNCH VOTE: Children at New Marske Primary School use red tomato and green pepper cards to vote on healthy lunchtime foods, a scheme similar to that used on the Read Steady Cook TV show
HEALTHY eating was on the agenda for pupils who were learning the dos and don'ts of packed lunches.
Redcar and Borough Cleveland Council's school catering service visited New Marske Primary School to deliver a Ready Steady Lunchbox workshop.
Children were encouraged to select foods for lunch boxes and then vote on the healthiest, using red tomato and green pepper cards, similar to those used on BBC TV's Ready Steady Cook programme.
Jenny Rice, deputy headteacher, said: "It was a really good presentation and brought home just how important it is to eat a balanced diet. The children were captivated by the demonstration, because it was really hands on and interesting."
