We would like to teach children how you can grow your own fruit/vegetables and how this type of healthy food helps to maintain healthy bodies. It is important to also highlight the plant cycle - how plants need food too to grow (good soil, sunlight and water).
We would like to create a vegie garden to teach kids about:
- What is needed to create a garden (soil, seeds, etc) and the life cycle of plants
- Discuss how fruit and vegies are healthy food and eating these makes for healthy bodies
- Discuss the human body and the digestive system.
Food to be provided would be fruit and vegie snacks - examples of things that grow in the garden.
Will be presented in the childcare and childcare playground.
