Milk their imagination and win!

It’s the Year of Food and Farming and to celebrate Robert Wiseman Dairies are running a curriculum-linked competition to get school children excited and talking about healthy food.
The competition will run on our 200ml cartons of freshnlo milk from 28th April - look out for cartons in your school. There are wonderful farm visits to be won and the chance for pupils to let their
imagination run wild.

We’re looking for stories, poems and pictures from your class based on their favourite foods and what kind of superhero it could turn them into – calcium found in milk helps make bones strong giving super strength powers to help save the day, beta-carotene in carrots helps create amazing see-in-the-dark powers… the opportunities are endless. Entries will be judged on creativity so let their imaginations run wild!

The winning entries will have a chance to win a fully funded farm visit for their class so they can find out about healthy food at first hand; the Year of Food and Farming and RHET / FACE has agreed to organise and coordinate these visits on our behalf. So how many superheroes can your school produce?
