Task 1: Food OriginTask 1: Learn about food origin and visit a local grower

Curriculum link: Subject: SESE Science | Strand: Plants and Animals | Theme: Growing Seeds

Begin the class by asking students where their lunch comes from. Some may say the supermarket, the kitchen or the local newsagent.

The best way to discuss food origin is to pick a selection of foods that students are familiar with.Food plays a huge role in society. In some parts of the world people are obese, while others are starving. Potatoes, fruit and vegetables play an important role in human health. Students gain a good understanding of food origin as they progress the Incredible Edibles project.

For Example:Vegetables: Most vegetables are grown in the ground. Vegetables grow in different seasons and climates.

Fruit: Fruit, like vegetables, grow on plants, trees and bushes.

Herbs: Fresh herbs greatly enhance the taste, appearance and nutritional value of the food we eat. By growing a small selection of herbs such as chives in small pots on our windowsill or in our garden, we can add flavour to stocks, soups and sandwiches relatively quickly and easily.

Eggs: The eggs that we eat come from hens. We eat eggs which are not fertilised, meaning that they will never hatch to produce chickens.

Mushrooms: Did you know that mushrooms grow in the dark? Mushrooms come in all shapes and sizes from small button mushrooms to big mushrooms, such as the Portobello mushroom. The most common type of mushroom we grow in Ireland is the white button mushroom.

Processed food: Much of the food we buy is processed meaning it has been changed or has had something added to it. White bread is an example of a processed food. Wheat grains are ground in a mill and then different parts, like the husk, bran, germ and endosperm get separated. White flour (made from the endosperm), is mixed with other ingredients and baked to make the loaf you buy in the shop.

Suggested ActivityMake a list of 20 food items in class and figure out if they are processed or unprocessed. Discuss how additives, sugars and salts are added to many food items. For more information and lesson plans on food etc., see Agri Aware’s ‘Dig In!’ resource at www.agriaware.ie/Digin

LogbookPick a food item and get the students to explore the steps taken to bring it from farm to fork. They can make a poster, write a story or take photos of the food at each stage of the process. Classes could also visit a local grower/food producer as part of a school trip. Please attach examples of this work in your logbook.

Task 2

Task 2: Home or School ActivityTask 2: Include a photograph(s) or story of students identifying Irish potatoes, fruits, vegetables and herbs

when shopping


The next time you go food shopping, try to buy Irish potatoes, fruit, vegetables and herbs. Write a short account of what you bought and why you bought it, draw a picture or take a photograph of yourself shopping.

What is the Bord Bia Quality Mark?The Bord Bia Quality Mark is a stamp of approval for foods produced in Ireland. This means that we are able to tell where the fruit and vegetables were grown and know that they are of high quality. For more information on the Bord Bia Quality Mark, see www.bordbia.ie

Take this list when you are shopping and answer these questions and/or include pictures/ photographs:

What potatoes, fruit, vegetables or herbs did you buy?

How much did each item cost?

Where do the potatoes, fruits, vegetables and herbs come from? (Try to buy Irish)

Do they have the Bord Bia Quality mark?

Are the potatoes, fruit, vegetables and herbs in season? (Check on pack)

See www.bestinseason.ie and www.potato.ie for more information on seasonality and the seasonal calendar for Irish produce.

Activity: Discuss why some produce found in our supermarkets and shops is not Irish?

What can we do to ensure we buy Irish?

Note for teachers:

Include an example of the students’ work for Task 2 in the logbook

Task 3

Task 3: The Growing ElementTask 3: Include a photograph(s) of the class/school planting and growing the seven Incredible Edibles,

potatoes, fruit, vegetables and herbs


When you start the challenge, take a photograph(s) of the class planting the seven Incredible Edibles. In April and May, take a photograph(s) of the produce growing and include these in your logbook. Be creative as you like and make sure to include your pictures in your logbook! The more the better. For growing tips, check out our Incredible Edibles website at http://www.incredibleedibles.ie/gardeningtips.html.

Sustainability:• The earth provides us with fresh air, clean water and food. To protect the earth for future generations,

we must take care of it. Energy is required for everything we do and by limiting our use of non-renewable energy sources, we can ensure that the earth and its resources can provide for everyone. While you may think that your individual impact on the environment makes no difference, it is important to imagine that if everyone changed on small habit, the global impact would be enormous!

• Here are some things you can try to do in your class and school to become more sustainable:

• Clean and reuse old plastic containers to start your Incredible Edibles seeds in

• Ask a local business to donate an empty barrel. Use this barrel to collect rainwater and use the collected water for your garden

Soils• Did you know that only 11% (1.5 billion hectares) of the Earth’s land surface is used in crop production? This is

why it is so important that we take care of our soils. There are a number of things we can do to conserve soil such as planting trees to minimise erosion and rotate crops after each growing season. The easiest thing you can do in your own school garden is to introduce earthworms and practice composting. Earthworms help to move the soil around underground which allows for more air and water to access plant roots. Earthworms also breakdown organic material found in the soil which helps add extra nutrients for the plants to grow better. For more information on how to make your own wormery, check out http://www.incredibleedibles.ie/activities--lessons.html

Composting• Composting is the process of decaying organic matter. It adds a number of nutrients back into the soil.

Composting is essentially nature’s way of recycling and a great sustainability practice to use in your garden. Anything that was once living can be composted – apple peels, coffee grinds, tea leaves, potato skins, grass clippings, mulch, etc. It is important that you don’t add meat to your compost pile as this attracts unwanted visitors (flies, rats, foxes).

• To start your own school composting pile, simply pick an area in the far corner of the garden and start collecting dead leaves, grass/plant clippings in a pile. To keep it from looking a mess, create a small square using old fencing or pallets to contain the compost pile. Make sure to turn and mix the pile weekly using a shovel or pitch fork to help the decomposing process!

Tip: Check out the Incredible Edibles website for cool activity

demonstrating the amount of topsoil used on the Earth to grow food!

Task 4

Task 4: Home or School Activity Task 4: Include a photograph(s) or story of students preparing, cooking or eating Irish potatoes, fruits,

vegetables and herbs at home or in school – Please submit your most creative and delicious recipe to Agri Aware as part of your logbook submission (which may be featured on the Incredible Edibles website)

Curriculum link: Subject: SPHE | Strand: Myself | Strand Unit: Taking Care of my Body | Theme: Healthy Food

Prepare a dish with your class using Irish potatoes, fruit, vegetables and/or herbs. Write a short account of how you and your class prepared and cooked the meal. Try to include pictures or drawings of the meal that your class prepared. If you are an experienced cook, try making a dish that you have never made before. Make sure to include your recipe in your logbook…we may even highlight it on our Incredible Edibles website! For more details visit www.incredibleedibles.ie

What to keep in mind• Cook something simple

• Try something new

• Get help from an adult

Seasonality

For some great recipes for all the family, go to:www.incredibleedibles.iewww.bordbia.ie

www.bestinseason.iewww.potato.ie

Note for teachers:

Make sure to include pictures of your students

preparing the dish for Task 4 in your logbook.

Have a look around the potato, fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket when you go shopping. Have you noticed that sometimes there are a lot or a little of the different types of fruits and vegetables during the year? This is because different fruits and vegetables grow best in certain seasons in the year. Some fruit and vegetables grow during warm months, whilst others grow during cold months. This is what it means when fruits and vegetables are ‘in season’. When you are preparing or cooking your meal, take a look at the fruit and vegetables that you are using and find out if they are in season. For more information on seasonality and to find out when different fruit and vegetables are in season, see www.bestinseason.ie

Task 5

Task 5: School and Home ActivityTask 5: Record your potato, fruit and vegetable consumption during Incredible Edibles Healthy Eating Week

Curriculum link: Subject: SPHE | Strand: Myself | Strand Unit: Taking Care of my Body | Theme: Healthy Food

Record your potato, fruit, vegetable and herb intake in school and at homeThe Food Pyramid places emphasis on more fruit and vegetable consumption. Potatoes, carrots, turnips, lettuce, strawberries and chives are all healthy foods and are important for a healthy balanced diet.

Agri Aware’s Incredible Edibles Healthy Eating Week will take place from May 11th-15th, 2020. More details can be found on www.incredibleedibles.ie.

Remember: Task 5 is an activity that can be completed at school and at home.

TeachersPhotocopy the Incredible Edibles Healthy Eating Diary template available at www.incredibleedibles.ie.Alternatively, help the students to design their own Incredible Edibles Healthy Eating Diary in class. Ensurethat students record the potatoes, fruit and vegetables they eat at school in their Incredible Edibles HealthyEating Diary.

StudentsRecord the potatoes, fruit and vegetables you eat each day in school and at home during Healthy EatingWeek from May 11th-15th, 2020 in your Incredible Edibles Healthy Eating Diary.

Parents/GuardiansMake sure your child records the potatoes, fruit and vegetables he/she eats at home during Healthy EatingWeek from May 11th-15th, 2020.

Hints and tips to encourage healthy eating in the home• Set an example by eating healthy nutritious foods

• Experiment with cooking and try something new at home, perhaps a fruit or vegetable that you have never eaten before or a new recipe

• Blend soups and smoothies if no one likes ‘bits’

• Involve children during meal-time preparation; it will take the mystery out of what is going onto their plate

For some great recipe ideas for all the family, visit www.incredibleedibles.ie and www.bordbia.ie

Note for teachers: Ensure that students record the potatoes, fruit, vegetables and herbs they eat at school in their diary.

General• Tip 1: Do not over-water the plants. A good tip

is to take a handful of soil and squeeze it. If water drips out, then you are adding too much water!

• Tip 2: Only add water to your potatoes, fruit and vegetables if the soil feels dry. Add the water gradually, not all at once.

• Tip 3: Do not under-water the plants. Take a handful of soil and squeeze it, if it does not form a ball, then you need to add water!

• Tip 4: Try to water the soil around the plant and not over the plant and flowers directly. This will help prevent disease.

• Tip 5: Water your plants in the morning if possible. This prevents the plants from being wet and cold at night.

• Tip 6: After four weeks, transplant your germination pots into the garden/raised bed.

Holidays and WeekendsIf leaving your plants unattended for more than 24 hours:

• Tip 8: Pay particular attention to young strawberry and lettuce plants as these will require most frequent watering.

• Tip 9: You should nominate someone to water the plants over the weekend or during school holidays.
