This week our school was delighted to welcome Paula McIntyre who came to visit our school Polytunnel. Paula met with some of our pupils who had been in school over lockdown. She took away some of our tomatoes and is going to make some delicious chutneys in aid of charity.
Paula McIntyre is one of Northern Ireland's leading chefs. She has appeared many times on TV and as a chef on the Balmoral Show. She also had her own TV series on BBC2.
Paula is a regular contributor to Radio Ulster, works for a range of well known food companies and she currently writes a weekly column in the Farming Life. Paula is currently involved in the Swell project in Portrush.
Thank you Paula for taking the time to meet with our pupils who have been working in our school Polytunnel over lockdown.
Also many thanks to:
- Galbraith and Sons for donating potato and vegetable seed
- David Lynas for coffee grounds which proved a brilliant fertiliser
- Emeralds Isle for their donation of seaweed
- A big thank you to our friends, neighbours, volunteers and the businesses that supported us in developing our school polytunnel.
