Taste for life — schoolchildren use artistic skills in healthy eating and exercise competition

SCHOOLCHILDREN around the country have used their artistic skills to show different ways of staying healthy by eating well and taking plenty of exercise.

Out of more than 6,000 entries in a national competition aimed at promoting these principles, pupils from 17 schools travelled to Dublin Zoo to be presented with awards for their work yesterday.

The An Post Education Awards were handed out in recognition of their artistic and literary efforts on the themes of healthy eating and exercise.
