Let’s Grow Cabra

The Programme

GROW at School is a food education programme that aims to increase food literacy in primary schools. Through garden-based learning and hands-on growing experiences, we help students develop a deeper understanding of where healthy, sustainable food comes from. We call this food empathy.

GIY provide schools with food growing materials and curriculum-linked lesson plans that support school gardens, classroom growing, and learning the why behind GIY (Grow It Yourself). Put together, the programme aims to change knowledge, attitudes and behaviour around food.

We've teamed up with ChangeX so that you can access the knowledge and support you need to start a growing programme at your school and if there's an active fund in your area, you can apply for funding to purchase all you need to start an outdoor onsite classroom. You can also download innovative curriculum led teaching resources to complement the school's learning programme and ensure we have a generation of food literate and food conscious kids championing health and sustainability.

We bought a polytunnel with the funding.
We have grown carrots,peas,pumpkin,beetroot,beans,spinach,sunflower and lettuce.
We put bark in the middle of the raised beds and put bamboo in the raised beds to hold the plants up.
Ms O,Reilly takes the smaller kids out to water the plants and sixth class take care of everything else.Then every morning Ms.Shovlin picks two girls to go out and water the plants.We think the pollytunnel was a great idea as we have had so much fun planting and gardening and can't wait to eat our vegetables.
