EATS Educates

 

EATS Educates is our community-based food education project running in all four primary schools in Rosyth. This curriculum-focused programme enables children to engage in sowing, planting, growing, harvesting, tasting, and cooking fresh fruits and vegetables.

By participating, children and their families improve their health and deepen their understanding of the environment and biodiversity. Following a successful pilot, we aim to expand this programme across South West Fife and beyond, ensuring more children can benefit, grow, nourish, and share.

  • Focusing on Children and Families
  • Delivering Learning for Sustainability Curriculum
  • Improving Health and Wellbeing, Biodiversity and Climate awareness
  • Creating an Education Programme and Resources for the future

Testimonials

  • “The activities that learners have engaged with have been fully accessible and have developed important life skills. There has been much enjoyment and enthusiasm shown during practical outdoor lessons, and learners have shown that they can work well both independently and collaboratively. Each week learning is collated and communicated with the whole school during assembly time to share learning and generate interest in outdoor learning. None of this would have been possible without the enthusiasm and expertise of the Eats Educates staff and we are very grateful for their ongoing commitment to the project.”

Their initiatives set us on the journey to transform our school grounds into vibrant, green spaces but they have also provided our students with invaluable skills and knowledge. Through their projects, our children have learned about the importance of sustainability, community, and the joy of growing and sharing food.”

  • “Teaching our children how to grow their own is a fantastic way to encourage them to take pride in what they can produce, in trying new things they maybe haven’t tried before, and in the responsibility of looking after a space of their own. It will teach them skills they can carry forward into the future to help with the sustainability of our green spaces and environment.”
