Our Year 3 students will be involved in Garden to Table in 2025.

Garden to Table is:

An exciting, integrated and comprehensive programme that helps children understand how to grow, harvest, prepare and share good food
It builds skills for life through highly practical, curriculum-integrated and child-centric classes teaching gardening and cooking skills
Provides NZ Curriculum-linked activities that allow authentic integration of Garden to Table into classroom-based learning
Builds awareness of responsibility for the environment, conscious eating and community connectedness

Volunteers are an integral part of the Garden to Table Programme. They work closely with small groups of children to answer questions, encourage, monitor and oversee activities, while keeping the children on track with tasks.

Volunteers can be anyone from within our school or local community who are keen to contribute their time and enthusiasm including parents, caregivers, grandparents, aunts or uncles. No special skills are needed, other than an interest in Garden to Table, and an enjoyment from working with children.

Our Garden to Table Programme starts in Term 1, Week 2. If you or anyone you know would be interested in being part of our Garden to Table journey, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Mrs Anderson karlaa@sherwoodprimary.school.nz

Garden to Table will be running on Thursdays from 9am - 12:30pm.
