Primary School Resources

School children are a natural starting point for education initiatives to help improve health; teaching children about where their food comes from, good nutrition and healthier lifestyles will help them make more informed and better choices both now and in the future.

The McCain Potato Story website contains four interactive and easy-to-use modules about plant and potato growth, and healthy eating too, covering a wide section of the KS2 Programme of Study for Sc 2 – Life Processes and Living things and Sc 1 - Experimental and Investigative Science.

Please visit www.thepotatostory.co.uk for more information or contact your McCain representative.

Birds Eye Foodservice

The Great Food Journey

Birds Eye has 65 years of expertise in growing and nurturing vegetables and making them the best quality choice for family meals.
To celebrate its 65th year, Birds Eye is going back to their roots and giving every child in the UK the chance to give growing a go.
Birds Eye is running a free pea seeds on-pack promotion which is being extended to schools and supported by the NSP, to engage the nation's teachers and pupils.
Birds Eye wants to see children and families gaining a better understanding of the journey their food goes on before arriving on their plates.
In celebration of Birds Eye’s 65th anniversary, National Schools Partnership has helped develop ‘The Great Food Journey’ – a brand-new, hands-on project which teaches pupils about the journey food takes from farm to plate.
The programme, designed for primary schools (pupils aged 4-11), is packed with vibrant resources and great teaching ideas for your whole school.
We are offering up to 150 free packets of pea seeds so pupils in your school can start to grow their own pea plants at school or at home.
Registering is easy! Visit for more information: www.nationalschoolspartnership.com/thegreatfoodjourney
