So happy and privileged to announce that I have been asked to be an Ambassador for Love British Food. The first person in Education to be an ambassador. Can't wait to see what is in store over the next few months. #British #Britishfarmers #Britishfood

So proud to be @chesterzoo Conservation Educator of the year in recognition of all the hard work we have done in our school grounds. @nathan_pardoe @charlesdowding

We've invested £20 (plus dismantling and ensemble time) in another green house. Just need to add the panels and then it will be the home for our peppers and chillies. @charlesdowding #nodig #organic #schoolallotment

Nasturtium in our #nodig #allotment at school. Part of our companion planting to try and detour caterpillar away from brassicas. The children came up with the idea and wanted to try it, they have voted if it will work or not. Now time will tell... @charlesdowding

Our free school resources for teachers, developed with @PrimaryFoodEd aim to help young learners to take in and digest food safety and hygiene practices. Look at our lesson plans and easy to digest materials: https://t.co/C5TZkVNWtQ #TeachSafeFood #WorldFoodSafetyDay

Here it is... 300m² #nodig allotment. Cardboard laid and compost on top, with wood chip for the walkways. It's hard to get your head around just how simple this is! @charlesdowding Updates to follow...

The start of our new pumpkin patch begins today. 3 different varieties, with seeds from the amazing @growseeduk #allotment #nodig #Halloween

Like Christmas has come early!! We've got some of our seeds for this year from @growseeduk as we do every year. The value for schools is incredible in terms of price and germination rates! Highly recommend. @RHSSchools

It's arrived! No-Dig gardening is something we really want to push at school and will be key in the development of our new allotment area. Available for all the children, and will be used in Guided Reading sessions too! @karl_littlelegs @charlesdowding #nodig #schoolallotment

The new allotment site is all planned out. Our new growing lanes are all coming along as well. We have; 5 (4x2m) 8 (4x1m) 1 (4x4m) Plus the new greenhouse too!! Can't wait to get some @growseeduk seeds in the ground #nodig #Allotment #community #growinginschools

A year away from twitter and in that time I have a new school/ job, a new role, and 2.2 acres to develop into the ultimate outdoor learning experience. Here goes....

I have created some amazing resources with @The_CIEH , the resources we created are now live and FREE and they are ready to share and download! Join the germs as they take you through 10 child-friendly lessons on food safety and hygiene!

After 2 years of working with the @The_CIEH We can now say our #resources aimed at #primaryschool children are now available to download for FREE. Please feel free to use, share and download. The more the merrier!

Broad beans are in the ground. Lets see how we get on! #muddyhands #outdoor #outdoorlearning

Tandoori chicken wraps in todays food lesson! Yes we're a primary school, yes a 8 year old child has made that! So easy and so many skills! So many children could be making dishes like this in Primary schools!

Gardening intervention today with a few children. Sowing some micro greens ready for some of our dishes in food lessons. Fine motor skills, gardening skills, food skills and just pure enjoyment!!! #foodeducation #gardening

Cooking isn't just making a dish, it's using a range of skills as well. Year 1 child and our focus was fine motor skills.....no problems!! Garlic butter made and a small bread roll. (Cutting herbs, squashing butter in our fingers, rolling bread dough). #skills #Food

My life skills group absolutely smashing it again this week. Learning all about the kettle, how to keep safe around a kettle and making a perfect cup of tea. #lifeskills #skillsforlife #SafetyFirst

Well, last week was amazing!!! Met HRH, met some amazing food teachers who are at the top of their game at the moment, and picked up an award for "championing and demonstrating excellence in Food Education". @HENRILEWORM @ceginmrhenry @mcrhealthysch @LoveBritishFood
