Stories on the farm (EYFS-KS1)
A selection of books can be used to structure memorable farm visits and provide meaningful context to traditional tails like ‘The little Red Hen’, ‘The Enormous Turnip’ and ‘The Magic Porridge Pot’ or modern classics like ‘Superworm’, ‘Rosie’s walk’, ‘Supertato’ and many, many more.
Farm to fork (EYFS-KS3)
See how food is produced on the farm. Use some of the farm’s produce to create foods we can eat. Activities could include milling flour and baking bread, producing vegetable soup, churning butter, or making ice cream.
Super soils (KS2-KS5)
Discover the importance of soils. Identify soil types and learn about soil structures and their impact on the types of crops grown, water courses and the environment. Identify the organisms living in soils and learn about their ecosystem functions.
