Farming Topic Work in P2

We have been doing lots of active hands-on learning as part of our farming topic work.

  • We designed and built farm models from Mobilo and photographed them using the ipad.
  • We assembled and played with the toy farm.
  • We drew farm pictures on the Interactive Whiteboard.
  • We had a visit from Mrs Mullen. She brought in a pet lamb and we got to touch and feed it.
  • We designed and made a farm animal or a piece of farm machinery from junk.
  • We have been weeding and preparing our raised beds for planting in spring. 
  • Mrs McClure came into school and taught us all about the role of the farm vet. (More photos to follow).
  • The two Mr McRoberts came into school with two New Holland tractors, a plough and a seeder and they gave us a demonstration of how they work. We all got to climb up into one of the tractors. (More photos to follow).
