WeAreOne: Week of Thinking – Food for Thought Special Menu
The Thinking Schools Academy Trust’s annual WeAreOne: Week of Thinking is nearly here, and this year’s theme — “Metacognition in Action” — invites us all to pause, reflect, and explore how we think, learn, and grow. To celebrate, our catering team has crafted a unique one‑day experience designed to nourish both body and mind.
On Thursday 29 January, we’re proud to introduce our Week of Thinking Special Menu: Food for Thought — a selection of dishes built around ingredients known to support brain health, focus, and overall wellbeing. It’s a delicious way to connect with the spirit of the week and spark conversations about how the food we choose can fuel the way we think.
Why a Food for Thought Menu?
Metacognition isn’t just about learning strategies — it’s about understanding how our choices shape our performance. Nutrition plays a powerful role in concentration, memory, and mood. By spotlighting brain‑boosting ingredients, we’re helping students and staff experience metacognition in a practical, enjoyable way.
Expect ingredients such as:
• Blueberries for memory support
• Leafy greens for cognitive clarity
• Whole grains for sustained energy
• Omega‑rich foods to support brain function
• Nuts and seeds for focus and mood balance
These aren’t just healthy choices — they’re conversation starters.
What to Expect on the Day?
Our Food for Thought menu will feature:
• Vibrant, nutrient‑packed dishes
• Fun facts about how certain foods support the brain
• Opportunities for students to reflect on how food affects their learning
• A shared celebration of wellbeing across the Trust
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with friends, every dish is designed to inspire curiosity and spark discussion.
Join in the Celebration
We invite all students, staff, and visitors to take part in this special day. Let’s use the Week of Thinking to explore not just what we think, but how we think — and how the choices we make every day can help us thrive.
Join us on Thursday 29 January and enjoy a menu that feeds your mind as well as your appetite.
Let’s make this a Week of Thinking to remember.
