Almost 50 children from a Cardiff primary school took part in a free Food and Fun/Bwyd a Hwyl programme this summer, set up to ensure all children have access to enrichment experiences, sport and educational activity sessions, as well as benefitting from two healthy meals each day during the long break from the normal school routine. Hwyel Dda Primary School in Ely was visited by Cabinet Secretary for Education Kirsty Williams AM who was keen to see how the children were benefitting from the initiative, as well as joining in with an indoor ball game with the pupils. The ‘Food and Fun’/ Bwyd a Hwyl programme, is a Welsh Government funded programme, match- funded by Cardiff Council, providing healthy meals
as well as sport and educational activity sessions to ensure all pupils can take part in activities during the summer holidays, as well as preventing learning loss over the break. Children are also provided with food education activities run by staff accredited with the Nutrition Skills for Life Level 2 qualification. This summer, children at the Food and Fun /Bwyd a Hwyl programme at Hywel Dda have already enjoyed indoor sports, arts and crafts activities as well as a Q&A session on food and nutrition. These sessions include education about healthy eating, as well as encouraging practice of other key skills including literacy and numeracy and encouraged parent engagement.
