P4/5 Outdoor Learning and HWB
P4/5 My World of Work
Mr Welsh came in to talk to the class about dairy farming and the different roles involved in running a dairy farm. The class looked at examples of feed the cows are given at different stages and all the parts that go into making it. We learnt about the machinery used and what life was like in a typical day of a dairy farmer. We also had the opportunity to discuss and compare the role of farming in the USA. Everyone had lots of interesting questions to ask to learn more about dairy farming. Many thanks to Mr Welsh for a great, interesting and enjoyable learning experience.
