Topic – Food and Farming
This afternoon we are going to explore different types of farm, and specifically, types of farming we would find in Scotland.
- Read and discuss the powerpoint on Farming in Scotland: farming in Scotland
2. Sort the items below into the correct type of farming – Arable or Livestock. Write the two types of farms as headings in your jotter and draw/write each item under the correct heading.

R has enjoyed this afternoon’s activities.
She listened to the farm sing and guessed the animals but was a little confused by one of the cat sounds.
She then read through the farming PowerPoint and spoke to me about what she had learned. She then divided the pictures into two groups with the headings Arable and Livestock.
R loved the quiz and played against Brian again this week.she got 7 out of 10 with Brian getting 8 out of 10. She wasn’t sure if the answers to 2,8and 10. She knew the snake answer straight away as one of her favourite things to watch is snake discovery.
We also went a nice walk with our dog and went into Jordan Wood just along from the school where someone has set up a wee fairy door and painted stones scavenger hunt.
Super job! Sounds like I might need to do one more quiz so they can have a tie-breaker!
I think I have seen a photo of the fairy door – it is a lovely idea 🙂
