| Our school has been
very lucky to have been chosen to receive funding from the 'Let's
Get Cooking Fund' from the National Lottery Trust we have used
this money to set up a new cookery club. Grace Academy have been
very supportive of our new project and allow us use of their
food technology rooms for our 'Creative Cookery' club. As part of the project the 'Business in the Community' organisation arranged for a group of volunteers from 'The Learning and Skills Council' to construct a new school vegetable garden for us. The garden has seven raised beds constructed using railway sleepers and three beds constructed from used car tyres. In our garden we grow a wide range of vegetables and herbs including; raspberries, broccoli, salad leaves, asparagus, shallots, peas, rosemary, parsley, mint and chives, amongst others. We have a group of ten gardeners from Year 6 who maintain the garden. We have a water butt to recycle our rainwater in order to water the plants. We have a planting schedule for the year and hope to grow a wide range of fruits, vegetables and herbs that all the children in the school can taste. So far, we have used some of our foods in our cookery club and our Year 6 gardeners have been able to take some foods home. We hope that the garden will be a very successful long term project! |
