Teaching
Here is where you will find all of the resources you need to support the GYOP project.
In 2021: we launched the new Block of work, a complete six week potato block of work with access to everything you need to support the GYOP project between planting and harvesting. Due to a lack of funding this year we have been unable to develop any new resources, hopefully for 2023 we will. In the meantime, the block of work will still work perfectly with the project, just pay no attention to the dates.
The block of work is adaptable to fit any age group and fits perfectly into the curriculum for; England under D&T: Cooking and nutrition, Wales under Technologies and for Scotland under Health & Wellbeing. With separate weekly plans ready to download for each.
Don't forget too to visit the Food - A Fact Of Life, where you can download lots of curriculum linked resources about potatoes and other foods.
