A hearty, healthy, full English breakfast was served up to 20 school children at Hatton Adventure World near Warwick this week.

Breakfast, including locally sourced bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, baked beans, and wholemeal toast, was served by members of the Warwickshire branch of the NFU including group secretary Danny James.
Alice Latham, assistant farm manager at Hatton, said: “Hatton Adventure World once again enjoyed working with the NFU and feeding a healthy breakfast to the school children. It’s important to explain why breakfast is so essential, especially at this time of year when children are susceptible to colds and the flu”.
Danny James added: “The NFU is delighted to encourage children to eat a good breakfast to start their day.

Before the breakfast was served the children took part in drawing activities and games to understand where the produce comes from.
After breakfast they walked around the Farmyard to feed and pet the animals including the guinea pigs, goats, and snakes.
Miss Constable, a teacher from Ferncumbe School, said: “We are lucky to have Hatton Adventure World on our doorstep and for the children to visit the farmyard each year.

"It’s important they take responsibility for their healthy food choices at home and school.”
Hatton Adventure World is open every day throughout the year (excluding Christmas Day and Boxing Day) from 10am to 5.30pm.
