This Winter session, our teams in the Education Garden and on Valentin’s farm have paired up to bring you “The World of my Food“. One workshop split over two education centres, designed to suit all primary stages.
Where exactly does our food come from? By exploring the world of our food from helping to it to grow in our garden and on our farm, right the way through to investigating what appears in our shops pupils will learn how the seasons affect our food, what we mean by food miles and how we can make simple, sustainable choices.
Our school education workshops support the delivery of The Curriculum For Excellence, and many of our activities are based outdoors on our 2000 acre estate, making use of our natural spaces to inspire learning. The King’s Foundation works in harmony with the natural world, and as such our workshops also touch upon the UN Sustainable Development goals and support learning for sustainability. Please see below for further workshop details.
Our workshop can accommodate a maximum of 30 pupils. If you require larger group bookings, please do not book using TicketSource – please contact us at dh.education@kings-foundation.org to discuss your requirements. For smaller groups, there is a 15-pupil minimum charge.
