Summer Term 2024:

Our topic this half term is 'Farm to Fork '

We are learning all about farming and where our food comes from.

We have visited a local farm called Bridgemere Farm to see a dairy farm in action. We learned about farm vehicles, foraged in the hedgerows and learned all about the cows and their daily milking schedule. Farmer Ed then allowed us to enter the milking palour and assist with the milking by watching the clusters extracting the milk.

We will also learn about lifecycles of animals and how farming differs in different countries around the world. 

We have a farm shop in our classroom and outdoor learning area, as well as our own milking palour and other farmyard activities to help with practical and hands-on experiences to immerse us fully in our topic.
