Teachers across Wales are being encouraged to sign up for Hybu Cig Cymru - Meat Promotion Wales' (HCC) newsletter, which will focus on red meat, cooking skills and nutrition.
The Kitchen Classroom – Gwersi o’r Gegin is a new, free quarterly newsletter set up by HCC and will contain free teaching resources, lesson ideas, information and articles from people in the field of red meat, health and nutrition.
Those signing up will also be in with a chance of winning a "bespoke red meat workshop" delivered in school by HCC.
HCC's consumer executive Elwen Roberts said: "Providing educators and teachers with resources and evidence-based information about red meat is a key priority for us at HCC. The Kitchen Classroom newsletter will therefore be a great opportunity to connect with more teachers and for educators to stay informed on food and farming themes and lesson ideas.
"Teachers who sign up for the newsletter between now and Friday 13th September will also be entered into a prize draw to win a bespoke red meat workshop to be delivered in school by HCC in the next academic year, covering cooking skills, healthy eating and where food comes from."
HCC said the newsletter would contain links to its education resources which are "suitable for ages 3-16 and cover topics such as healthy eating, Welsh farming, recipe styling and nutrition. All the resources are available in English and Welsh and have been "designed in collaboration with teachers", in line with the new curriculum. Seasonal recipes, videos and information on HCC's upcoming education news and events will also be included.
HCC’s senior digital marketing officer, Liz Hunter, explained: “Our recent health and education work has shown that there is demand for digital and online information sources for teachers. Our new Kitchen Classroom newsletter will ensure that teachers can receive our latest resources and evidence-based information about red meat direct to their inboxes.”
