World of Work – Farming

Today P1, P2 and P3 had visitors from the farming world to talk about the jobs that they do and the skills they need for their work.

We had Mr Weir who sells tractors to farmers.  He brought a tractor for us to look at and we were amazed to find out the tractor cost £77,000 and has 16 lights on it!

Mr Cameron, a vet showed us different equipment he uses when dealing with sick animals.  He brought along a dog (just a cuddly one!) and showed us pictures of x-rays.  We also saw photos of animals in the vets surgery.

Mrs Nelson is a dairy farmer she talked to us about the journey milk takes from farm to fridge.  We talked about how many different things we eat daily which  are made from milk – chocolate and ice-cream being two of our favourites!

It was super to find out about different aspects of each job and by the end we had lots of people wanting to be farmers and vets in the future (we still had a few footballers too though!)
