The ‘Farm to Fork’ project allowed Year 5 to visit The Co-operative Farm, Hirshel Estate near Coldstream. In science the children have been studying the topics ‘Keeping Healthy’ and ‘Life Cycles’.
We learnt about a range of crops. We examined the seeds, looked at the plants and discovered what products they made. A day on the farm allowed us to search for water check the Highland cattle and find out how old trees were.
We made smoothies out of a great selection of fruit. Some was in season and some had been imported from different countries.
