Blaenau Ffestiniog youngsters enjoyed a slice of the action when they showed off their pizza-making skills at a summer cookery workshop.

The workshop at Ysgol y Moelwyn proved to be a highly popular ingredient in Gwynedd Council's three-week long Food and Fun activities programme.

Supporting the young cooks were Harlech Foodservice's business development manager Ursula Scurrah-Price and regional sales controller Dave Roberts.

The family-run company, which supplies Gwynedd schools during term time, donated the ingredients and assisted the children with their culinary creations.

Ursula Scurrah-Price said: "As a company, Harlech really enjoys getting involved in these kinds of community initiatives.

"We donate all the ingredients needed for the pizzas, we stock all the raw materials at Harlech, and bring it all together.

"I go through the process of making a pizza with the children step by step, and the idea is they make it themselves and have fun doing it.

"The activities the children enjoy during the sessions are always fun and healthy and there is a real variety of activities to enjoy.

"The programme has really developed over the years and we are happy to be making this kind of contribution to the community."

Dave Roberts said: "The Food and Fun sessions are such an important community programme.

"There are so many positives to it, including teaching children to cook, which is such a key skill, a skill for life.

"And another positive is that parents have childcare within the school during the holidays.”

The youngsters were helped in putting their pizzas together by Ysgol y Moelwyn teaching assistants Lisa Thomas, Marion Hughes and Cai Williams.

Lisa said an added advantage of running the programme was that it gave youngsters who would be joining the secondary school in September a chance to get used to the premises and meet new friends.
