    day in the life of a farmer would be good
    maybe need a bit more background information
    would like to see inside the machines
  2. Excellent videos, content very specific to our needs and appropriate to primary children. Backed up our work on Harvest and our farm visit and was most enjoyable and gave good teaching points and extended knowledge of all pupils.
  3. Carole Sharp says:
    The children loved the close up video footage of the machinery – the timing was super – it linked in well with our discussions about harvest time and the preparation for our own school harvest festival which my 4 year olds were leading for the whole school – the videos helped the children support the links between what we had been talking about across the curriculum- planting of wheat, harvesting of vegetables and making healthy soups, Little red hen action story and singing of songs linked to our Autumnal theme. The children were observed building their own combine harvesters outside!
    Further video diaries about planting of Springtime crops- would support our chdn to make further links as we embark upon our main planting season in school

      The video diary has 3 more programs up to Christmas – been filming pigs today.
      Then 18 more are planned next year – so watch this space….
