On Monday 23rd June, students from Trinity Christian School visited Leighton Park for an exciting Sports Nutrition Workshop — a dynamic collaboration between the Food Technology and Sports Science departments. The aim of the day was to help students understand how food fuels the body and supports an active lifestyle.
The day began in the sports hall, where Leighton Park’s Sport teachers, Ross Paone and David Morton, led an interactive session exploring the energy demands of different physical activities. Through fun challenges and practical examples, students learned how the right nutrition can make a big difference to performance and wellbeing. Raphi’s favourite part was “The race with the rowers” where teams competed to row the most calories.
Meanwhile, Amelia said she “had a great time” and her favourite part was the baking, which took place after a well-earned snack and some time to play outdoors. Under the expert guidance of Karen Hicks in LP’s specialised Food Tech room, students made their own fruit and granola bars – healthy snacks packed with the nutrients and energy needed to support an active day. This hands-on cooking session also gave them a chance to build their practical kitchen skills.
Filled with movement, creativity and valuable learning, the workshop offered a brilliant opportunity for students to explore the connection between nutrition and sport. After a fun and active morning, the children enjoyed a healthy walk back to their school — a fitting end to a morning all about fuelling active lifestyles.
