Gayton Primary Snowy Tuck Shop Launch

The Tuck Shop Managers at Gayton Primary, Wirral were determined not to let the snow stop them from launching their fruit to suit tuck shop on the playground as planned. They refused to be persuaded by the 'oldies' to launch in the comfort and warmth of the hall!!!

The tuck shop is being independently run by the children and is proving to be very popular. This is full credit to the Tuck Shop Team Managers shown below with Claire Bear. They have lead and managed their Tuck Shop Team through the fruit to suit workshops, organised all the workshop's dates and times and have continued to telephone orders through to Donna on a regular basis. What a team!

Biodegradable products

fruit to suit are aware we are using thousands of very small plastic bags which are not very environmentally friendly!

 

We are currently looking into biodegradable alternatives.

The difficulty we have is that biodegradable bags are a lot more expensive and we would like to keep our children's snacks 'pocket money' price.

All newly printed leaflets and booklets will be on FSC certified 100% recyclable paper or 100% recycled paper.
