Cooking And Gardening For Young Children.
The Foodies / Resources
These pages are a mixture of our own resources, and those we have found from other people and organisations. Some resources here have been provided by practitioners and parents who have tried and tested them, but you will have to assess for yourself the benefits for your own children and whether it will meet the guidelines you are working with.
Some resources are created by food industries. While they are not allowed to promote intentionally inaccurate information, they will naturally wish to promote their product as the most important part of the diet. However some of the resources they provide are very good when used in context. Wherever I am aware that a resource is industry sponsored I will say so, and you can exercise your common sense in evaluating it.

Planting Runner Beans At Orleton School12/01/2010 12:15:00 Planting Runner Beans At Orleton Primary School
Orleton School is a primary school in rural Herefordshire. The school recently became a flagship school for the Food For Life programme. As a flagship school the children are very involved with their food, growing some fruits and vegetables for the school kitchen, learning how to make healthy snacks, joining in a cookery club, and visiting local farms.
In 2009 a local theatre company performed Jack and the Beanstalk and in the week that followed, class 2 planted the school's french beans. Some class 2 and 3 children and some Reception children also planted some runner beans after school, and this video shows the after school planting session.
