Photo Competition

There’s still time to enter Queen’s University Belfast School of Maths and Physics’ STEM #Unfiltered Photography Competition, open to students and grown-ups from Key Stage 2 up across Ireland and Northern Ireland!

 

We're looking for original photographs or images related to Science, Technology, Engineering or Maths (STEM) with a short description.  We want you to take a look at the science around you in your everyday life, and share it with us!  We’re judging based on the beauty and originality of the image and how clearly you describe the subject matter.

 

The top entries will be featured in our online gallery and will receive certificates recognising their work.  First and second place from each age-category, as well as several runners up, will also receive an Amazon voucher. Some of the top entries will also be selected for display as part of NI Science Festival 2023. 

 

Find out more, and send in your submission here: http://go.qub.ac.uk/STEM2022

 

Last year’s winners’ gallery, as well as a gallery of photos from our own researchers showcasing their cutting edge research, is available (http://go.qub.ac.uk/STEMPhotoGallery2021 for inspiration! 

 

For any queries please contact us at mp.outreach@qub.ac.uk

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Healthy Food Choices

All schools are encouraged to advocate a consistent message about healthy eating, as per the Food in Schools Policy. This means all food and drink provided and consumed within the education setting should be nutritious and of good quality. School meals are a great choice, however if parents decide to provide a packed lunch, or morning break or snack, the following guidance may be useful for healthy eating tips and ideas.

The ‘Are you Packing a Healthy Lunch?’, ‘Healthy Breaks for Schools’ and ‘Healthy Choices’ resources are all available by clicking on each title.

The Public Health Agency, in partnership with Health & Social Care Trust dietetic teams, are running a series of nutrition webinars including sessions on healthy lunchbox and snack ideas, which parents may find useful. For further details and joining instructions please check the PHA social media channels. If the dates/times don’t suit or you would like to find out more about other nutrition topics, pre-recorded sessions are available to watch on the Public Health Dietitians - YouTube channel.
