We have just completed the Incredible Edibles Project from Agriaware and we are really hoping to achieve Gold Status as an Incredible Edible School. We completed 5 tasks and we really enjoyed it from start to finish. We got seeds, strawberries and potatoes fro Agriaware as part of the project, these are now growing in our school garden. There were many links between the project and the curriculum and we also did a lot of work in the classroom, learning about where our food comes from, the food pyramid and so much more. We were particularly impressed with how much food is produced locally in West Cork and in Cork County. We enjoyed making potato cakes fruit skewers and smoothies, really tasty ways of eating fruit and veg and we also did a 7-a-day challenge.
The project made us aware of eating seasonal food and buying local where possible.
We have some avid gardeners in our school!
