What a fantastic day we had at Water Lane Farm as part of our Agriculture Unit!
The children thoroughly enjoyed extending and embedding their prior learning through a range of hands-on experiences. We watched a fascinating sheep shearing demonstration and an impressive sheepdog show, and some of us were even lucky enough to pet a sheep. We also met the pigs and learned more about how animals are cared for on the farm.
As we explored the farm, we looked at different types of machinery and discussed the important role they play in modern farming. The children also had the opportunity to plant sunflower and pumpkin seeds, helping them understand the journey from seed to harvest.
One of the highlights of the day was making our own flatbread, linking our learning about agriculture and food production from field to fork.
It was a fantastic day that brought our classroom learning to life and helped to embed our understanding of agriculture in a fun, memorable, and engaging way. We are incredibly proud of how well the children represented our school throughout the visit.
