A healthy meal on a plate was the inspiration during a hat-making session at Chilton Primary School, near Didcot.

The children also designed healthy eating badges which they wore during a Healthy Eating Week aimed at improving eating habits. The school was also seeking a green ecoflag to add to the bronze and silver eco-awards it already has.

Headteacher Christine Dunsdon said: "Staff encouraged healthy eating among pupils with a variety of activities." Parent Katie Napper organised a healthy eating tuck shop at break time.

The county school dinners contractor CFM provided an especially healthy meal with an emphasis on "healthy food tastes and what looks good".

Children were asked to list as many fruit and vegetables they could during the week.
