Glorious sunshine filled the sky today for our trip to Barleylands. We had a jam-packed day full of activities relating to this terms topic which is all about food.
We learnt about where our food comes from and saw for ourselves the process of flour being made. We saw where the seeds are sown, harvested and how the crop is then ground to make flour. In addition we learnt all about the different foods we can find this ingredient and even made our own mini-pizzas. Our food critics, (the children) gave their pizzas a whopping 10/10. Yum!
We then got to take a ride on the tractor and visited the farm whereby we were ever so lucky to feed the animals and see the cute 2 week old lambs! With a heavy heart we, sadly, had to say goodbye to all the adorable animals and head back to school. However, all the children are keen to continue their learning over the coming weeks so watch this space!
FACT.
Did you know the top of the wheat crop where we get the flour is called the 'ear'? Each ear holds about 40-60 wheat seeds.
What an informative day!
