The pupils at Singleton Primary School started the new term by learning about local food and healthy eating.
They explored how seasonal produce like fruits and vegetables are grown and what makes a balanced meal.
A visit to Chichester's Farmers' Market allowed them to chat with producers about how tomatoes, cheeses, jams, and fruits are made.
Those pupils who visited had £2 each to spend at the market and will next be cooking with the ingredients they purchased. As part of their classwork, the pupils have also been growing some produce of their own at school.
Miss Cain adds: "They all loved looking at the different stalls and were even able to try some things from some of the stalls. Now they are looking forward to cooking with what they have bought. We also can't speak highly enough of the traders; they were fantastic with the kids and even offered some discounts to help their money go a little bit further. That was so generous and kind of them to do that, the children loved getting to meet with them!"
"We wanted to help them understand what goes into the process of growing food, such as what's seasonal and what they can go grow themselves. They planted some herbs and garlic at the beginning of the term, and we have just recently harvested them. They have really enjoyed getting the chance to be hands on as well."
Councillor Harsha Desai, Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Communications, Licensing and Events, at Chichester District Council, says: "The Farmers' Market is a great way for residents and visitors to support local producers and pick up some fresh local produce. It is also an opportunity for people to come along and learn more about the food they eat and buy.
"We are so pleased to see that the schoolchildren have been relishing the chance to learn more about what healthy eating is, what is grown close to their homes and where food comes from.
"We are always keen to help promote the amazing local produce that is grown in our district and across the local area. All of the stallholders are from within 50 miles of the district, so it's been a great chance for them to learn about the range of foods that are grown in the area. We are so happy they had such a great experience meeting the traders and getting to ask them all sorts of questions firsthand."
The Chichester Farmers' Market takes place in the city centre every first and third Friday of the month, with stalls along East Street between 9am and 2pm.
