This term we have started the topic ‘Does farming matter?’. During our geography lessons we used google maps to identify farmland in the local area. We then thought about whether all farms are the same and learnt that there are dairy farms, arable farms, livestock farms and mixed farms. We chose how to present our learning about farms. Some of us made lego models, some of us painted and some made books.

In history we have been learning about what farming was like in the past. We looked at some photographs to compare farming in the past and present. We learnt that there are lots of machines to help farmers now such as tractors and combine harvesters. We painted and drew some of the main changes.

In science we have been learning about plants. We have explored the school grounds and looked at a range of plants. We were plant detectives and used ID charts and books to name them.
