P5 and 6 were given the opportunity to visit Balgracie Dairy farm as part of a R.H.E.T. organised initiative.\u00a0 The pupils were given a guided tour and an explanation of farm processes that apply technology, science and engineering to carry out tasks.\u00a0 They learned about the many, many jobs that are required to keep a healthy and productive dairy stock and how farming is undertaken in an environmentally responsible way.<\/p>\n

All the milk from Balgracie farm goes to Nestle to make Kit-Kat chocolate.\u00a0 We were treated to a few ‘biccies’ to take home with us to sample after our visit!<\/p>\n

The children then applied their recount writing skills to share their experience with their partnership Glow e-buddies.<\/p>\n

See below for an example of recount writing from Ruby P5:<\/p>\n
