This book enhances student's learning about Kitchen Gardens/Living Sustainably. It contains integrated KLA's such as math, art science and literacy. Students will not only been engaged in this reading but gain an insight of gardening skills. #UoNTeach https://t.co/YJLr2WMNN6
What a fantastic way to reuse and recycle plastic bottles! This teaches students to be eco-friendly and live sustainably through a vegetable garden project! #UoNTeach https://t.co/VGw2H3UNLZ
Two big green thumbs up to Quakers Hill Public School who used their Eco Schools grant to turn plastic bottles into a greenhouse wall for herbs and edible plants!

Remember, they're not just cooking! Think of all the different types of skills and learning that has been put into this cooking lesson; teamwork, collaboration, using gross motor skills, trying new foods, extending cultural knowledge #UoNTeach https://t.co/fTmwR0ii9j
Students involved in the Warrane Primary School @SAKGF program love cooking this bright green spinach pici pasta. Fun to roll and they look like beans when cooked!
Studies say that schools that do not uphold a trained professional in specific topics such as sustainability can lead to a barrier in learning. It is important to build the capacity and knowledge of these topics so that it is implemented into our education. #UoNTeach https://t.co/HM14PTokGg
Townsend et al. (2010) claims that schools with the most actions to ensure to promote healthy eating resulted in students eating fruit for lunch and eating fruit and vegetables on a daily basis. #UoNTeach
Robinson (2006) lists the reasons of why students should cook in a school environment; development of gross motor and manipulative skills, hand-eye-co-ordination, learning about different cultures, identifying tastes, extending language and sharing skills and teamwork #UoNTeach
World Vision provide useful resources/information, allowing exploration of food security and how global citizens respond to these challenges. These resources integrate the Geography, English and Civic&Citizenship curriculum. https://t.co/d0IYUyMIRf (World Vision, 2018)#UoNTeach
In my garden project, inviting the local Aboriginal community is a large part of the plan. It is important to approach them in a respectful manner. The long term goal is to foster a continuing relationship with the Local Aboriginal Community. (QLD Health, 2015) #UoNTeach https://t.co/oZVpwuc3Ly
Great article that discusses excellent strategies to assist with effective communication with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. (Queensland Health, 2015). #UoNTeach

@acereduau Do you wonder why it is important to integrate curriculum? Think about how much you could learn in a classroom where you learn math, science and reading all in one lesson! Another reason why we should implement an integrated curriculum #UoNTeach
(2/2) Those students described as showing learning difficulties and learning behaviours were experiencing success at school with the SAKG program! (Block, et al. 2012). #UoNTeach
(1/2) Many reviews have stated that the SAKG program is described as highly engaging for all students across the academic spectrum. The results of the program have shown significant results for students with risk of ‘long-term disengagement’. (Block, et al. 2012). #UoNTeach
A study found that only 12.2% of girls and 9.4% of boys eat their 5 portions of fruits&veggies? How can we increase this? Make sure your school is implementing https://t.co/EN30WaRzm5 !! #UoNTeach
This is just a quick screenshot from the Kitchen Garden Foundation website. It shows just how many integrated KLA'S you can fit into a Kitchen Garden Project! Inside the classroom and outside in the garden #UoNTeach
@ChelseaOrr19 I agree @ChelseaOrr19. A study I read found that involving the community encourages students to make positive health behaviour changes. This then extends by transferring these positive changes to their home and in the community #UoNTeach
@charrlottelongg I Agree @charrlottelongg. This will encourage students to further their knowledge on different types of vegetables that benefit towards their health. This resource will also prove that vegetables are so good for them #UoNTeach
