GARDEN KITCHEN
This school term the focus for our fundraising efforts is to provide the children with a 'playground to plate' garden kitchen program, designed to deliver food education around growing and cooking to develop the right skills and knowledge to keep themselves healthy.
​
We want to encourage the children to engage in planting and tending to 'school grown' fruits and vegetables which will eventually make it onto their school lunch plates!
Our target of £3,000 will enable the installation of a school greenhouse with the tools and materials needed for the children to get their hands dirty (quite literally!) ​and start to benefit from the experience of food growing.
​
The Food Growing in Schools report highlights compelling evidence that proves food growing in schools helps to support our children through;
​
• Encouraging and facilitating learning – particularly in science
• Building skills, including life, enterprise and employment-related skills
• Improving awareness and understanding of the natural environment
• Promoting health and well being in relation to diet and nutrition
• Supporting school improvement and development
• Strengthening communities and interaction.
