The Yr 3, Yr 4 and Yr 5 children took part in an exciting Introduction to Seafood workshop offered by the LBBD Food Education Network in partnership with the Billingsgate Seafood School. The visiting chefs demonstrated a wide variety of fish species, allowing the children to learn about their features, habitats, and how they fit into different animal groups.

The session also included an interactive tasting experience, where pupils had the opportunity to explore new flavours and understand how seafood contributes to a healthy, balanced diet. In addition, the children watched an engaging video that highlighted the connections between food-related careers, healthy eating, and sustainability, helping them understand how choices we make—from what we eat to how food is sourced—impact both our wellbeing and the environment.

Overall, the workshop offered a hands-on, memorable learning experience that beautifully supported our science topic while also promoting curiosity, confidence, and healthy eating habits.
