East Acton Primary School "Growing Together"

Edible Playground

We are all very excited about the Edible Playground Project in our school. Raised planting beds are located in the playground in which every year group plant, grow, harvest & eat fruits and vegetables throughout the year. In our 'Green Space' (a piece of land behind our year 1 and 2 buildings) we have an outdoor classroom with desks, benched and an outdoor whiteboard - all surrounded by fruit trees and other food crops. As this project develops it promises to further enrich the curriculum, linking growing foods to history, art, science, mathematics and geography. It will teach the children about where foods come from and the importance and joy of healthy eating.
