How did the context of farming allow your learners to explore and develop literacy? We learned a get deal of new words in relation to the farm. We found books about the farm, animals, and the jobs of the people who live and work on the farm. We wrote many stories, and drew pictures to label.

My class have really enjoyed the Bricks Farm kit. It provided a real challenge for my class building the sets together and a great opportunity to work collaboratively, communicating and problem-solving. The kit sparked much discussion about where food comes from and the process of getting it onto our tables.

We have loved the brick frame unit. We are a city school with very little farm experience and we were fascinated to learn more about where milk and food actually come from. The children were highly engaged and happy to build with a buddy. We found the instructions quite difficult to work through as a young year One class but we called in some of our year 4 children to help us with the initial construction.
