INCREDIBLE EDIBLES

What is Incredible Edibles?

• Incredible Edibles is a healthy eating initiative for Primary School students. It encourages schools across the country to get busy growing fruit, vegetables and herbs. Incredible Edibles is an interactive project that allows students to get their hands dirty and learn by doing.

• The students will keep a logbook  in order to track their progress. In completing this project as a school we will have five interesting tasks to complete.
• The 5 tasks include:
  • Task 1: Food Origin – learning about where different food comes from.
  • Task 2: Home or School Activity – visit a grocery store and take pictures of your students identifying Irish potatoes, fruits, vegetables and herbs.
  • Task 3: The Growing Element –  plant your seeds in your school garden and take pictures of the process.
  • Task 4: Home or School Activity – have students submit pictures of them preparing and cooking different types of dishes using fruits and vegetables. The students can submit their most creative and delicious recipe to Agri Aware
  • Task 5: School and Home Activity – participate in Incredible Edibles Healthy Eating Week! Using the food pyramid as your guide to ensure you achieve 7 portions each day throughout the week.
