On Wednesday last week (14th November) P7 went to DYWF event at Ingliston to learn about jobs within the food and farming industry. While we were there:

• we learnt about animals and farming; and how hard it is to look after animals and crops.
• we went to various different employers stations, including a company called Veolia who helps deal with the waste created by West Lothian’s residents and businesses;
• some of us tasted Venison (it strangely tasted rather like a normal beef burger).
• We attempted to conquer a cow quiz;
• some of us got to eat samples of Mackies ice cream;
• we tried the vehicle simulator and tried to learn to drive a tractor.
• we were introduced to ducks, pigs, cows and horses; and listened to the company describe how the animals are part of their business.

There were a lot of kind employers and it was an enjoyable experience.  It has made many of the P7 pupils think about their future career aspirations.
